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.

u will most likely kill your inverts with the copper treatment (the pepper treatment won't really work in my experience)
Either pull the fish and treat in a QT or take the chance. Ich can live up to a month in a tank without hosts...after that they will die off. the only way really to get rid of it out of the tank is to leave it barren without hosts (ie fish) for at least a month or up to 6 weeks. turning the heat up will only speed up the cycle..not get rid of the ich. I would suggest looking at the conditions of the tank itself as well. Generally healthy fish don't get ich. Your tank may be stressing out your fish and leaving it less resilient to disease. Ich in itself generally isn't a huge issue..tangs are notorious for getting it. it only becomes a big issue when it starts to conflict with breathing. cleaner wrasses and cleaner shrimp may help but aren't a cure either. the best way to deal with ich is to make sure that your fish are healthy Some people say garlic will help fight ich. However, most of the reading I have suggests that all garlic does is help encourage the fish to eat more, therefore making it healthier and more able to fight the disease. Hope this helps Good luck Neal

Mike, FYI, what you are seeing might NOT be Ich.
If you have a skimmer that produces alot of bubbles, they stick to fish that swim around. A way to tell the difference is to take a look at your Coral Beauty. Do the white dots seem to be embedded into the epidermis or are they stuck on the outside? Lights sometimes play with our eyes and make the air bubbles on the fish look white. If you have a sandbed, this could also be the case. Fish sometimes pick up grains of sand as well. Take a look again for a better diagnosis. Best of luck, Marco
