use the quarintine. ick medications have copper in them. doseing copper in you're main tank will ruin the chances of keeping corals and other inverts. even snails.

Don't treat the clown in the main tank. If you do, you will not be able to ever keep any inverts in that tank, as the copper soaks in to the substrate and rocks, and some say even the silicone seals. Quarantine him and copper that baby up!
