OK to dig up an old thread, my Hippo Tang has a few spots of ich now, because I quarantined him for too short a time. He looks healthy aside from the spots of ich on him.
He is in a reef tank with a Yellow Tang and two ocellaris clowns, none of the other fish have any spots on them.
Anyway looking at everyone's advice I have elected to ride it out with attention to diet and water conditions. I could move all 4 fish into quarantine and treat them but this would be a tremendous hassle.
The worst case scenario is I lose all four fish and leave the tank fallow for two months after that.
I believe the folks who say that offering good conditions will enable the fish to fight off a mild to moderate case of ich.
