Is my undestanding that Ich Shield contains Choloquine P. The use of CP in a reef tank is dangerous. 1 pellet in a coral and problems. Also the fish poops out the CP and zoaxantellas will die. So not very reef safe (I have seen corals and shrimps die on this), Fish only sistem might work good tho.

ICH shield does not have "CP". It is a form of it, but it is not pure. I use this several times during the week in my reef with no issues to coral...at all.

As I said, it doesn't have "cp" in it. I've been using it off and on for a year, he'll, I've ever end fed coral with it with zero effect.

No. I was referring to the pellet food.

Ah, that explains it. Medicated food doesn't really help much with external parasites since they spend more of their life cycle "off fish" than on the fish.

Glad to read but is not my experience, you need much more than 1 week to know for sure tho.
Good luck with ick shield, did not work for me
