Ick Question

[aedds2]

I have a sheet of GSP that I would like to move into another display tank. Question is will ick transfer on the sheet of GSP? No rock or anything else moving but want to be safe. Thanks!

Probably yes. If the original tank has a fish with ich/hasn't been treated for ich, then there may be tomonts on the GSP.

Ich with reef critters is hard. Ideally, doing a 76 day quarantine would get rid of it.

Same for moving leathers and Kenya?

Yes. Same with all corals.

Yes - you even need to be careful and your hands and tank tools...they can transfer fomites (infective agents) from tank to tank. Indeed, so people hypothesis that some fomites can be carried by air currents, and so they keep their QT and DT in different rooms.

Is there anyway to speed up getting rid of it? Selling the tank setup so these corals need to go someplace. Just GSP, leathers and kenya left and some rock
