So I have ich in my display and plan to take the fish out for 3 months. I have a scooter blenny in there and I worry that he won't have enough to eat in quarantine. I know they are not normally susceptible to ich. Also i've never seen ich on him at all. Would it be safe to leave him in the display or would that completely defeat the purpose of removing all the other fish.

Dragonets can carry ich in their gills and can successfully complete the lifecycle. I offer a couple options:
- put him in a more cryptic area of the QT, like a sump, acquire some live food, and feed daily
- have a LFS or a friend hold him for you (often these fish are kept in LFS invert systems for the same reasons that concern you) after you treat him (TTM maybe?), then re treat when you get him back
- treat (TTM) and sell to another reefer, get a new one at a later date
