I have a problem with saltwater ick and I was wondering how cure without taking fish into a quarantine tank since I can't afford one. Is there a simple way to cure it? I have a green bubble tip anemone. I have two fish: a clown fish and a banded sleeper goby.

I don't have a saltwater but when my freshwater fish got ick I bought a bottle of treatment that said it could be used for freshwater or saltwater... I would just suggest looking for a bottle of ick treatment for saltwater and you should be good

I looked into that but they said that either need to take the anemone out since all of the treatments would kill them.
Well try taking a small tank putting some of your sand water and love rock into it then put the anemone in and treat the ick with the treatment in the other tank, otherwise your gonna have to to take it to a store.

No copper? Alot of "reef safe" ich treatments contain copper or some form of copper which is DEADLY to all corals. So be very vigilant

Coral shouldnt be affected by ich, but since its a soft coral im not sure. What iv done before is lower the salinity down to about .015 and see how that goes. Freshwater dips could also be done on the fish, but lowering the salinity is your best bet.
