If it's ich, it's easily treatable with minimum stress to fish. The hard part is that you have to treat all the fish and leave the tank fallow for 8+ weeks. Don't feel bad. I think it all comes down to luck. I don't know of anyone who is quarantining their inverts or corals. I know some quarantine fish.

Default Garlic Ich treatment

You know the drill Marie but for the benefit of others.
Take some dried food and soak it for 10 minutes in garlic extract (from the health food store) or Garlic Extreme from the LFS.
Dried because it will absorb more garlic than wet food.
Feed very often. The idea is to get as much garlic into the fish as fast as possible.

Continue feeding for a couple of weeks even though the spots are gone.

Good Luck. I am she he will make it.
