    Yes it will. You really need to remove the fish and treat it in a seperate hospital tank.

    I use ich attack it's totally reef safe, you can find it at pet smart, but seperate hospital tank is best. Good luck with the catch.

    I'm not sure there are any disease or parasite treatments that are 100% reef safe. What are the ingredients of the product you mention?

    Ich-Attack
    Directions for Use: (in Fresh, Brackish, or Saltwater): Shake well before each use. Carbon should be removed from water filters during treatment.
    For Diseases, Abrasions, and Wounds:
    Add 1 teaspoonful (approx. 5 ml) of Ich-Attack for every 10 gallons (approx. 40 liters) of water. Repeat dosage daily for 1 week. For the treatment of Ich, continue the treatment for at least 3 days after the last indication (white spots) of the disease is observed. If the symptoms have not cleared up after a week, the daily treatment dose can be increased by 50 to 100% (1.5 to 2 teaspoonfuls) and continued for a longer period of time. Continue until the symptoms have disappeared, then make a 25% water change.
    As a disease inhibitor and preventive:
    Ich-Attack is recommended for use in aquariums, ponds, and quarantine tanks to help the fishes in resisting external disease outbreaks. Follow the instructions for Diseases, Abrasions and Wounds.
    For netting, handling or adding new fish, amphibians, turtles and other aquatic reptiles: Add 1 teaspoonful (approx. 5 ml) of Ich-Attack for every 10 gallons (approx. 40 liters) of water. Repeat dosage daily, 3-7 days of treatment will usually be sufficient. Cold water conditions may require a longer treatment time. If the animal's condition appears to be less than satisfactory during this time, treat as recommended for severe infections. After the treatment period is over, make a 25% water change.
    • Safe for fishes normally sensitive to medications including "scaleless" fishes such as loaches and catfishes, coral reef fishes and fry
    • Will not harm eggs
    • Will not harm plants or reef aquariums
    • Can be used with amphibians and reptiles
    • Does not stain aquarium decor, aquarium sealants or equipment
    • Will not permanently discolor the water
    • Ich-Attack can be used with all Kordon Water Conditioners such as NovAqua, AmQuel, and PolyAqua, all Kordon Water Clarifiers (TransClear and Sea Clear) and all AquaTru Water Quality Test Kits.
    For interconnected multiple aquarium systems: Ich-Attack can be used in aquariums that are interconnected with a central filtering system and where one or more are aquariums are infected while the others are not. Ich-Attack will not harm the inhabitants of the non-infected aquariums.
    Active ingredients: 5% active ingredients (multiple natural herbals containing Naphthoquinon)

    I have a friend that's been using this product for years. It's a little slower then the other treatments, BUT it does work without affecting Live rock and reefs and such.
