Default Can a nem carry ich?

I want to move one of my lta's to my 90 but i had a fish in there that had ich. So i took the fish out put it in quarintine a 2nd time and left the tank fishless for 2 months. Put the clown back in and low and behold there is ich again on the clown after he had been fine in quarintine for 6 weeks. So obviously something weird is going on here.
I will retreat the clown but I want that nem out of that tank but am worried about putting it in the 90 with my healthy fish.

Opinions?

Thanks

When you took the clown out and QT'd it, did you treat the ich in the QT tank? If you simply left the clown in QT without treatment, the ich will still be having a happy life cycle on the clown.

Raising tank temperatures does nothing except speed the life cycle. Only copper and hyposalinity is guaranteed to KILL it.
