Rays + Clowns + Ick ???

[Gr8KarmaSF]

I am currently researching my first ray and was planning to put some of my clowns in along with them.

My question is since clowns are so apt to get ick, how does one treat your clowns with ick when rays are with them? How do rays react to the standard ick treatment of adding salt, raising the temp., and anti-ich meds?

Would treating clowns with ick be any different with rays in the tank???

Please enlighten me ray owners so that I might learn something new today!

No meds just raised temp & maybe some salt

3rd that. Or just move the fish away and treat them with ick meds. Put them back when they are well. Have not verified this but rays are supposedly immune to ICH.

immune to ich??? Wow!

So are there any common diseases that rays get that are prevelant such as ich is to fish?
