I tried Kordon Ich-attack (from petsmart) a year ago. That stuff is a sham, all it does is smell like ass and cost $15 a bottle. It took this retard four bottles to figure out my fish were going to die if I didn't do the tried and true method.

Have you tried feeding a good seaweed blend to him? Tangs need veggies

I would say lower the salinity but you said reef so that won't work well. Are you trying to catch him with a net? Try using a clear container and putting it in a corner where the fish usually runs to and just guide the fish into the container it usually works in my tank.
Depending on the size tank Rich had some stuff I tried once that worked pretty good but if its a really large tank its not cost effective (can't remember what its called but Rich or Beaver should remember)
