    In your main tank? Don't think the chaeto will like it. Yes, you can run carbon.

    Corals and inverts will also die (including CuC) from OST. If you have a FO or FOWLR tank with no inverts, your chaeto will be the only thing in danger.

    If you're referring to leaving the main DT fishless to kill ich, yes you can leave inverts. Cryptocaryon will die without a fish host regardless what other life forms may be present.
