Six line wrasse eats ich off other fish????

As the fish are in a reef (I believe) best to just keep them fat and hope for the best IMO. Also try and keep your temp as stable as possible to reduce stress as much as possible.

Since none of my fish seem to be bothered by the ich at all (other then the white spots on the Lavender tang which don't even seem to bug her) I thought I'd get a cleaner wrasse to help remove the white cysts that the ich leaves on the fish.

I realize the cleaner wrasse is not a cure. I was just hoping that he might better enable the fish to fight off some of the ich parasite by themselves, or at least help the fish feel more comfortable.

Hey, did you read my edit, do you happen to know what looks like ich but might not be ich?

All my fish are in a reef tank, and they are fat and eating very well, they don't act like they have a parasite (that's why I didn't want to try to QT them and end up stressing them out when they don't seem stressed right now) I do try to keep my temp as close to 80 as possible, but I do know that it sometimes goes up or down a degree. Thanks for your help.
