Welcome to Aquaria Central!!
So sorry your first post is disease related.

Your inverts will neither catch nor carry ich.
Just leave the tank fish free for a full six weeks and the ich will be gone- it needs a fish host to survive.

In the meantime- do some reading on quarantine tanks- you really need to utilize one!!

As far as fsh goes I've only had the 3 yellow tails since it is a new tank and this is my 1st saltwaster tank. Had 2 together - pump intake took out the first. Another intake took out the 2nd a week later. Got a 3rd and he was there for about 12 days and died. Other than that crabs, snails, marco algae & corals have been going really well. I also noticed that it's not ich just a bunch of really small isopods (i think) I could definitely use some good links that will explain the details if anyone knows of any.

Thanks in advance!
