I put a post yesterday, I got good replys, but it is almost impossible to catch the fish, so I would like to know which medications may get rid of the ich in my reef tank :notsure:

Please note that ich is an invertebrate. You CANNOT kill one invetebrate and not kill the other inverts (snails, crabs, corals, ect.) in your tank. Reef safe meds will not kill the ich in your tank. Reef safe meds help knock the ich off of your fish. The ich will still be alive and well in the sand bed ready to re-attatch to your fish. If you do not kill the ich in your tank then you will be fighting it for the life of your system.

Sepulatian is right.
If you cannot catch the fish, remove the live rock and inverts in your display, move them to a rubbermaid, and hypo your display tank.
