    Hey guys, well my tang has developed ich here in the past week. It all happened when we placed the corals in the tank. And its been on strong ever since. I bought a cleaner shrimp to hopefully clean him, but he wont let the shrimp. Gets angry every time he tries to clean him. He is now sort of "shedding" if you will his skin, and just today started acting wierd. i cant catch him to get him into a QT, which I dont even have anyhow. He is breathing heavy now and like i said, his skin is shedding in layers almost on one side of him. Not sure what I should do, if he is even alive in the morning. he was my favorite fish :(
