This will do nothing at this stage (or arguably any stage depending on who you're talking to) except further stress the fish and weaken its immune responses.I agree with the guy above me, if you can't catch him, start soaking his food in garlic and do more water changes to help combat the Ick.
I've got some of the ruby reef rally on the way already should be here Tuesday . I've added that into my main tank a few times .... My purple tang had a few small white spots about 2 months ago . Once I did the whole ruby reef treatment into my main tank the spots were gone and all the fish seemed to be doing a lot better . I was using the ruby reef because I'm not too sure I'll be able to catch any of my fish to quarantine . Didn't have any luck in the past . I've got like 250lbs of live rock on the tank. So there are a lot of hiding places
From what i've heard, the adding garlic to the fish's food doesn't stop/prevent ich or velvet
it does nothing to treat any disease.
