Thanks for the reply i will look into getting rid of the angel but i highly doubt the lfs will take it in its condition. But as far as the ick in the main tank goes if i leave the tank with just inverts and no fish will the ick all die out even at normal temp and normal salinity.?

Can ick live in inverts? can i take the lionfish back and leave the inverts in, while leaving the angel in the 10 gal quarintine tank for 90 days?
