Purple tang added to a 120 gallon tank on 8/23. Within one day, he had clearly defined white spots on the base of his tail which the LFS said was ich. Started treating the whole tank with "Kick Ich" the next day. LFS suggested a fresh water bath for 15 minutes. Upon trying to catch the fish, he got so stressed out that se quickly gave up. I would have to dismantle my rock to get this fish out. If necessary, will do so, but it would be a royal pain.
Did the second and third treatments of Kick Ich, but he has developed bumps all over the rest of his body. He eats normally, acts normally, but rubs himself on the rocks as if he is itching.
Other inhabitants of the tank are ok. I have hermits, a gorgonia, 3 curly Q anemonies, one yellow watchman, 1 flame angel, 2 wrasses, and 4 clowns. Live rock, no corals. Water parameters are selinity of 1.025, PH 8.3, ammonia 0, nitrates 0, nitrites 0, phosphate .03.
The pics aren't great, but hubby said "looksl ike he has the measles"
Please help.
