    I wouldn't worry just yet. Mine gets spots once in a while and then they go away. Feed with food soaked in Garlic and Kent Zoe if you can.. I also add Kent Marine C to my tank as well. Keep stress low in the tank- IE don't pick today to do all kinds of cleaning and rearranging of live rock in the tank. you'll be fine. Other will chime in as well. Good Luck!

    My Hippo has been through Ick at least twice in the year I have had him and he got over it with no issues both times I think the Hippo is just a really sensitive fish and it gets stressed easily which brings on the Ick.

    My hippo also just got over ick, don't do any kind of crazy treatments or try to move him, he will b fine. feed with garlic, and Ive also heard to put a piece of broccoli on a veggie clip for them.
