My Scopas is Getting Sick!!!

[TheNowMovement]

My scopas tang appears to have ich... it literally showed up last night! Ive been reading non stop about what kind of treatments i can do, and it boggling my mind... What is THE EASIEST way to get rid of Ich? I see that there are three options, and these options are super confusing to me... especially the transfer method...

The other issue I'm gonna run into is the fact that this scopas tang is by far the fastest fish I have in my tank at moment, and he has excellent hiding places that I cant get to without tearing down the tank... what do you guys suggest to get him out of there and into a QT? I definitely need help with what to do, cuz from what I'm reading, everything is pretty much screwed at this point with getting it out of my tank! Please, i know there's a thread out there for this, but sometimes it seems as though my case is a little different than most, or at least there arent any good descriptives on how to do these things mentioned. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to manage the problem in the DT or eradicate it completely. Both have pros & cons, and associated risks. If you wish to eradicate it, you will need to catch ALL your fish, treat in a QT and go fallow in the DT for 72 days.
