There is ich in my tank. Most saltwater tanks have ich in their tanks but usually the fish are healthy enough and the water is maintained properly so you may never see any signs of it. Puffers are bad to add to a tank with ich, since they are scaleless they can catch ich very easily and they will not be able to get rid of the ich on their own. If you start off with a healthy saltwater fish most of them should be able to fight off any signs of ich within a few weeks.

Nice fish BTW!
Thanks and yes that is how it works.
