about the ich coming in on the coral...interesting.
not sure if it could..
from what I have read, it drops to the bottom of tank after it comes of the fish..then can remain like that for up to a month.(sorta like a hibernation)
this is the stage where it would be on the corals if anytime...I just don't know if it sticks to things or does it just rest on the ground? if it just rests on the ground then I can't see it being able to come in on Corals. If it somehow attaches itself, then maybe it could attach to the corals.
after this hibernation period, it than starts to swim around till it finds a host...if it can't find a host, then it dies.
it could be that the wholesalers have the ich in the water stream and are shipping the ich in the water itself.
I dunno.
