Reef Ich Solution

Recently aquired a powder blue tang in otherwise good health. It looks like me might be coming down with ich. Any suggestions for a reef-safe solution. Pulling him out of my reef tank will likely be next to impossible.

No reef-safe products have ever been reliable at consistent cures of Marine Ich. I'm afraid the best is to quarantine all fish before they get into the display. Once Ich gets into a display all the fish have to be removed and treated.
