That's where quarantine comes in. If you quarantine all fish for at least 6 weeks BEFORE placing them into the reef tank, you will have a very small probability that parasites can be introduced into the Reef tank.
You could even treat all new fish with hyposalinity and thet would make it impossible for "Ich" and many other parasites to be introduced.
