    K+ for your loss. May want to look into the cause of their death before you spend more money on fish. What were you treating them for? What are your current water parameters?

    Sorry to hear about the death of your clowns!
    You just don't know if it was because of your treating the ICH or a direct result of the ich infection that caused their demise. If treated quickly, their success rate and surviving this debilitating disease has a better success ratio.
    Do you know why they contacted ich?
    Temperature fluctuation?
    Stress?
    How long have you had them?

    In the future dosing copper with corals is not a good idea...
