Hi guys.
I've got a false clown. For about 2 weeks I noticed small white bump. It seemed to be a bit worse in the mornings then better/less obvious later. Figured it was ich. What I'd read varied some said reduce stress feed garlic others said treatment, hypo.
I also read Riaanp bucket method but as he said might be too much work for one fish.
Anyways I reduced the light cycle and kept up with feeding. All seemed good till this morning when it's now got quite a few white specks. Question is, it's the only fish in the tank with 5 snails, cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, porcelain crab and some corals is it worth reducing the light cycle more, how will corals cope, getting a garlic supplement and maybe a reef safe treatment or should I set up a QT tank?
IF I do keep him in the DT and it clears up and I see no signs for 6weeks would that mean the tank is ich free? The reason I ask is if I'm going to do it I'd like to atleast know I can add additional fish. I've been holding out due to the early signs.
Thanks in advance
