Ok, definitely ich on the powder blue. I think this is normal markings on the Lion. Of course the lion is in my FOWLR while the tang is in the to be reef tank... quarantine, quarantine quarantine! Dang me. I'll be pulling him out and treating him in my 30g planted tank... or should I treat the reef tank with something? I only have one zoanthid so far. Should I move it to the 30g quarantine instead?
Well you need to treat with copper...or CP which can not be used in a reef tank or a planted tank or any tank with live rock.
TTM is another option but if you put the fish back it will just likely get ich again because its already been in the DT. You would need to pull all fish and let the tank sit fishless for 76 days or whatever the rule is now.
Reef safe meds don't work so don't bother wasting the money. If it was that easy no one would bother to QT.

Thank you, looks like ich is common in tangs... I'm going to pull all the fish out over the next few days and put them in the 30g tank and treat them with copper... looks like 2 to 3 months to kill the ich.
