I've never had a problem with ick except for when I first started my reef tank and didn't have enough oxygenation as I used only powerheads. Then, ick killed my fish fairly quickly. Nowadays, I get ick only once in a while for various reasons (new fish or overdosing some additive), but the fish fight it off on their own (even without the UV running). So I have no fear of taking corals nor fish from a tank with ick. I don't recall ever losing a saltwater fish to ick after my first few months of reefkeeping.
