![]() I think my coral beauty has ick. I'm not sure cause this is my first sick marine fish. From what I've seen in the past in my fresh water tank it looks like ick. He has several tiny white spots scattered over his body and fins. What can I do to treat him? It would be difficult for me to set up a hospital tank. What can I do without removing him? Other (invert) tankmates include a few snails, a couple hermits and a CBS. Also I don't know if this matters but there is also a pulsing xenia, some ricordia and some green star polyps in there as well. Is there a specific medicine I can buy? or could I buy one of those parasite eating fish?
Thanks for any help. |

![]() I have a 10g somewhere and a aquaclear mini but no heater. Is a standard qt tank just water, filter and heater? What do I use for filter media?

![]() take a sponge or some filterfloss from your established tank to speed up the cycle,let it run for a few days or a week and you should be ok to put the fish in. are thier any other fish in the tank with the coral beauty right now? if thier is they will need treatment also if you want to get rid of the ich compleatly.
