HELP! Royal Blue Tang has ich! What do I do?

I do, I meant I believe in QT and if infected go fallow for 76 days to eradicate. My tank is clean (crossing fingers) lol
I don’t believe in managing parasites
We must have "managed" the parasite for 10 years. I don't believe in telling some one to empty there tank for a couple white spots but I guess we can all agree there's more than one way to run a reef tank right? Also, the blue tang is currently residing in a large 400 gallon tank and it's been another year or longer and no ich. I can see going fallow if a fish is absolutely covered but just my opinion. @Justin Teufel check out some threads from a member @Paul B so you can see both sides. There doesn't seem to be much grey area in the "disease" part of the forum. He has some good write ups so you can decide for yourself on what you like to do or what course is necessary.

Definitely no grey area you either learn how to manage or eradicate. I was just stating what I do, that doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone

I agree, it can be a touchy subject but not as bad as lighting;Hilarious I try to keep an open mind with reefing as there is no one size fits all.

I didn’t know people got up in arms over lighting. Lol
 
Gotcha! Glad to hear. I was expecting to hear you say you got bit by cross contamination or some super bug. Glad all is good in your tank.

I’m too paranoid and I hope that doesn’t happen. I have separate equipment and I always go hands on (feeding, etc)the DT before the QT
