I cant catch my new royal gramma. Looks like he may have ick! What should I do?

What other fish do you have in the tank?

Look into formalin baths for immediate relief as well as the tank transfer method

I'm surprised nobody yelled at you for not using a QT tank, so I guess I have to! You should always QT new fish! Even though I don't lol. It's good practice though and I wish I could have a small tank for it. I've never had any marine fish diseases so I can't help much but I've heard formalin works as well

Lol. I never had a diseased fish either. He didn't seem sick until 3 days later.
