Other options for Ich in a reef tank...

I believe one of my 2 fish has Ich. Although he shows no signs of stress, he has had white spots on and off for about 3-4 days now.
There is no way to catch him and I do not want to tear apart my tank.
1) Is there ANY chance that the fish will survive Ich and it will eventually go away?
2) I have read a few threads about Kick Ich and its safety with reef tanks, however, it has also been generally reported to be ineffective. If it is reef safe, I am willing to give it a shot. Has anyone had any negative outcomes with Kick Ich versus just not sure if it helped?
TIA

Thanks for the input.
How often can I give garlic? I feed the fish 3x/week. I can soak some garlic at that time. Would it be beneficial to just soak some garlic every non-feeding day with tank water and then return it to the tank?
Thanks!
