Question
Hi,
I have a 30 g SW aquarium, about 2-3 months old. One of my damsels (3 stripe) has a case of ick. All other fish are fine. I have a friend who has a 125g and has successfully used Organi-Cure for treatmeant of ick which is safe for crabs,shrimp.His snails were fine too. I have a Choc Chip starfish, and want to be sure that he would be safe during treatment (my friend doesn't have starfish.) Any idea?
Thanks!

Answer

hello,

I would not use this treatment with starfish in your tank.
Even though it did not affect the other inverts.  Star fish can be extremely sensitive to ick treatments.  I would ask your friend if he could house the starfish for you until the ick is gone.  You should get a small q-tank in the future.

Good Luck
Todd
