Sounds like you got to remove all your fish and treat all your fish in hospital tank. Let your DT run without fish for 8 -10 weeks do lot of water changes.

are the remaining fish eating?

Fish r eating foxface was eating so so found him up on top of the tank swimming crazy luckily I have a screen top took him out wasn't gonna take any chances I don't have a qt tank so can't really do anything Someone recommended using 100% ginger but not sure about that gonna soak da food wit garlic n cross my fingers

Black Ich. Google treatments or when I wake up a little I will check what Ive used it the past to treat.

I googled it they say black ich can use prazi pro it's reef safe gonna do some more research thnks

Black Ich is very rare, so it could be something else. Normally the best way to get rid of it is formalin baths. See the link below:

catching the fish is da problem someone recommend using medic from polyplab or prazi pro bcuz they r both reef safe gonna research both items worst case scenario if I cant catch the fish just gonna have to bite da bullet n let them die hard for 2 say it but that will b my last solution
