What else do you have in the tank? rock/ coral/ inverts. If you have any of these there is not much you can do in the tank. All the stuff on the market that is surpose to be reef safe is just a waste of money. The best thing you can do is to get a hospital tank set up for treating sick fish. Is the blue tang still eating you could try garlic. I feed garlic to my fish once a day and so far they have been healthy. It is not a proven cure but known to help. This is just my opinion. You can do a search. I would not recomend doing any type of diping it will only stress out the fish more.

I have a hippo that got ich pretty bad she still ate though so I soak her food with garlic everyday feed emerald entries mixed with enriched brine 2 times a day and as much nori as she wanted she pulled through no more spots and is growing. She now takes food away from the bigger sf tang. I also have a uv sterlizer although not sure that is what helped but something did.
