I just notice that my blue tang has little white spots on his body and scratches on the rocks i researched and some people say garlic and selcon helps them get rid of ich. If its true, where can i purchase these items or buy from a local member any help will be appreciated.

city pets has selcon. Is it a new fish? how big is your aquarium? is any other fish infected? -
Just feed him more and gradually raise ur temp to 83. I have ichs in my system and I don't think there's a way of permanently removing them. Only contain them.Comment

i dunno if the temp thing works on marine ick. I thought that was just freshwater ick.Comment

tangs are notorious for easily getting ick. Is he still eatting well? How big is it? 30g is really really small for a blue tang. Unless you got a really small one. Are the clowns picking on the tang?Comment

You can try garlic and selcon. Make sure he eats well. Make sure the water is clean. You could start up a hyposalinity or copper treatment. But these can be very tricky and require a lot of testing. It is very stressful on the fish, and could result in killing the fish.
Keep a close eye on him, and if it continues to get bad, I would tank him out and put him in a different tank so the ick won't kill your clowns as well.Comment
