Marine itch

[Chirag96]

Hey guys any recommendations for the best treatment for marine itch? I can see small white spots on my clownfish and tang. I am guessing it's marine itch. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Coppersafe at therapeutic level 2.25-2.5 monitored by a reliable copper test kit such as Hanna at 80 degrees for a full 30 day treatment in quarantine
Leave display tank fishless for 45-60 days to allow ich to go through its cycle and die off

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

There is not a good way to treat marine ich (Cryptocaryon) in a display tank with invertebrates. In tanks with just fish, you can use copper (as mentioned) or low salinity.
