If you once had ich. And kept perfect params and feed well. Your fish seem happy and havnt shown signs of ich or anything else for over 2 years.

Would you break down your live rock in order to catch them and put them in another tank which you would have to watch closely and not let cycle. Then lower salinity for 6 weeks and leave your main tank fishless?

Or would you simply let them be cause everything seems fine for years?

I would leave them there even more if there are many fish. From my experiece I had more failures by trying move and cure fish from ich than anything else. I came to realize that ich is something you can live with and might not show in your tank for years.

I do not know if it will ever come back in mine but as I said I had more success gettting them back to health by just keeping them in the tank with more feeding, params in check etc..
