We have had it in our display pretty much since we set it up. As long as I keep on the uv bulb changes and keep feeding good food regularly, they shake it off. When we added our black tang back this summer, within a day it was covered in ich but it went away and now months later the fish has...
They are cryptic fish so I am not surprised he is hiding. What was he eating at the fish store? Did you get a tank raised one or wild? How big is it? Live food and feeding at night are good suggestions above.
First off welcome.
