If you have a star fish on your tank, the copper medicine will kill it.

I have a Blue tang who has been 2-3 times covered in ich, the first time I
isolated her and used medicine (something called like "ich out") which was
supposed to be safe on reef tanks. The disease went away but came back
stronger once I put her in the main tank. You could see her red flesh. I
tried to removed her but couldn't do it. A few days later the skin was
healing and the ich was gone. She gets it about once every 3-4 months but
recover by herself.

In my short experience, medicine doesn't do much for a marine tank
But water changes and garlic food works miracles.

Try that, garlic boost the immune system on the fish.

Good luck,

Ruben

I have an FO only talk with three fish. The tank is about 1 year old
and in pretty good shape. However I have noticed that my fish (eyes
and skin) seem to have a white fim on them. They are eating quite well
and seem to be in good spirits.

Can anyone suggest some things to look for or any disease that I might
be heading into?

Thanks,

ok, bad news, my Yellow tang just died and it looks like my other fish
is going to die in the next 4 hours. They fish is covered in a white
very thin film (fungus) and his fins are falling apart. I still have
one fish including a star fish that don't seem to be affected at all!
Is this ich and is there a site that provides the best plan to address
the tank? also, any idea's on why my other fish has not been
affected?

Cheers
