Question LOOKING for REEF safe treatment for fungus on a achiles tang

long story short my achiles tang developed ich , so other fish ever showed ick includeing 5 other tangs. so i first added 6 cleaner shrimps , and they worked all the other fish over nicely, but for some reason the achiles never seemed to use them. So I added ruby kick ick on my 10th treatment ick appears to be all gone now. But woke up today to a serouse fungal out breakon the achiles tang, im looking for a treatment thats reef safe as ill never be able to catch this guy, 300#'s of live rock in a 150 gallon tank Any ideas ona effective treatment that want hurt my sps's or clams? Thnx for any imput!

True fungal infections are rare. Most likely a secondary bacterial infection
As far as treatment I am afraid you really need to remove the fish.. Kick ich is not known to work and I am afraid the ich is probably still present. The bact. infection can be treated w/ Furan-2 or Muracyn or another type of antibiotics. None of which are reef safe. A secondary infection can kill the fish, dont let it go
