My poor little clownfish became a victim of what I think was marine ich. I was wondering if the ich is still in the water. If so, how can I get rid of it? Is ich dangerous to inverts like my blue legged hermit crabs?
thanks

The posts at the beginning of this forum will answer most of your questions.

I'm not trying to be unhelpful, but there is a long, comprehensive, answer you should have to your questions which will require more than a short post here.

Check out these articles for more information:

Marine Ich only infects marine fishes. Inverts are safe from this parasite BUT the parasites can be found in infected water that inverts are found.

Good luck!
