Dave's tank

[David Engh]

Sorry I didn't get pics when I first set up because I was way to excited to get it up an going. The current tank is a 75g with a canister filter,skimmer an power head. The tank residents are
1 niger trigger aprox 6"
1 foxface aprox 5-6"
1 yellow tang 2.5"
1 powder brown tang 3"
1 flame angel 1.5"
1 Clarki clown 1.5"
1 Mandarin dragonnet 1.5"
1 golly unsure of species 2.5"
1 green anemone species unsure

If anyone could help me identify the anenome that would be great. I bought the tank used an he was in there an the person I bought it from was unsure what it was so that's where I am at. If anyone has suggestions on what to do or make it better it would be very appreciated cause this is my first tank an I would love to see it do the best it can.

Can I take a fish out of a tank an put it in one which is almost cycled if I think it may have parisites?

As long as you are keeping track of your ammonia. That's what will kill them.
But what parasites?

Unsure new to saltwater and fish tanks in general its like little white spots all over its sides an fins

Sounds like ich.
The only way to truly rid a tank of ich is to leave it fallow (fishless) for what... 60 days? Someone please correct me.
Others, like myself don't worry about it and let healthy fish fight it off like the common cold. If they are healthy. Many times it's brought on by stress. Or I should say brought out... it's always there.
Putting fish in a new tank will add to their stress.
Can you leave them where they are and treat there so you don't introduce it to your new tank?

it's hard to get a good pic due to be keeps swimming an is camera shy

 

[David Engh]

What would you suggest I put in there for that? I can leave him in there so maybe it would cure any other fish if they have it. I just set up a 10g tank with no rocks or sand for just this purpose is that a good idea?

I just put that fish in there on Monday an from the looks of him when I put him in there was nothing an when I got home today it was there. None of the others seem to have these spots so I guess I worry that it will spread?
