    Default Getting rid of ick?

    Yesterday I noticed multiple pin-head sized white spots on my glass. I scraped and cleaned all of it, but today I see it again.
    I'm assuming that it's Ick.
    My fish receive garlic suppliments with the morning feedings, and I see no signs of Ick on any of them.
    My question is, how can I get rid of the Ick without harming or killing my corals or inverts?

    Nope, Ich needs a live host, what youre seenig is most likely small feather worms, a good thing...

    garlic, garlic, garlic. Temperature to 82 if you don't have SPS. Slight hyposalinity helps a little too. Best preventative: Quarantine and UV
