Treat cleaner wrasse for ich?

[jayf8115]

I lost 2 tangs I had in Qt to ich... the cleaner wrasse was with them and he seems to be doing fine. Do I continue the Copper Power treatment for him? I have read that wrasse are fairly immune from ich. Thoughts????

Wrasses are not immune to ich. How long have you had the cleaner? Is it eating well?

I have had him about a month. Yes he eats whatever I put in the tank.

I'm far from an expert, but I would say as long as the wrasse doesn't show any adverse effects of the treatment put him through the full treatment cycle, and monitor the copper levels and his behavior.
