You can try dipping him for about 3-4 minutes but in my experience that never gets rid of it.I would try using Chem-Marin stop parasite.The fresh dips do help though but they also stress the fish.
nly try this if it's a fish only system!!
I will remind you, if you do a freshwater dip on a fish, make sure you buffer the pH of the water.
IMO the best thing you can do for ich is feed well and use cleaner shrimp/gobies/wrasses, oh and I have also had very good luck with a UV sterilizer
You should def. check your water params, a healthy clownfish in good water should never get ick.

Well, I fought Ick at one point when I was less informed, I tried every remedy on the net and failed... lost my pair of picassos and my mata tang. Then I ordered a big ol UV sterilizer, and in 48 hours all the ick was gone, took off the UV and never had a problem since.
No, only if for some reason it messes with the ammonia levels of the tank due to fish die-off
I would do some research on it. Specifically research hyposalinity or copper treatments. I would post a pic and confirm if it is indeed ich, before starting any regimen.

raise temp up to 81-no more than 82 and if u have no corals lower the salinaty down to 1.015 wont hurt the fish, just do it slowly,
i fought ick for 2 months and did this and it went away but i was also using NOick and 2 rounds of revive with water changes.
i also got 2 skunk cleaner shrimp that helped a TON on the fish taht would use them... but none the less if fish wont let them do there job, they wont help..
but ot me sounds alot like ick
