There is a really good series of articles in Advanced Aquarist about itch. It describes the life cycle, transmission and treatment of Cryptocaryon irritans "Saltwater itch". There are 3 articles so far of the 5 part series and it is very good an describes the most effective treatments. They are very well written articles that you might find helpful.

Quote from the introduction:

"Despite all of the information currently available about this parasite, it still remains to be one of the most serious threats to the health and well-being of captive teleost marine fish. This is due in part to misinformation about the life cycle, mode of transmission and treatment options that are perpetuated largely (albeit unintentionally) by misinformed hobbyists and retailers. This five part series will detail these and other aspects pertaining to Cryptocaryon irritans in an attempt to dispel such misinformation."
