ich
the best remedy for ich is copper, but it can not be used in a reef or a tank with live rock or live sand.
the best thing is to setup a hospital tank. To help kill off the ich or speed up it's short life, is to raise the temp. to about 82. and lower the salinity to about 1.017-1.018
both not good for a reef. thats why u need to seperate him.
then you can use copeer to a safe level for about 3-4 weeks
the longer u wait the harder it is to get rid of it.
I have tryed alot of other chemicals they just do not work.
once it is better you have to slowly acclimate him back to the original salinity
get him out soon before he infects others
