I'm a fan of Flagyl and "no-ich" < nitroimidazoles>by fish-vet, inc
I successfully treated my tank - reef safely- and my regal tang was COVERED!

I also added a sterilizer - and turned the temp up to 82 for a few days.
Read about the life cycle of these protozoans, and it will help to aide your treatment.

I did 1 wk of flagyl, mega water changes, and then started the no-ich regime for another month < the trofonts have a life cycle up to 27-28 days>..lots more water changes and...viola...ich free for 2 months so far!

BTW, my fire shrimp also helped by 'cleaning' the tang off!
