I've moved my fish to QT for Ich, now for the DT...

My DT has coral and a CUC. Do I need to do anything to rid the ich from the DT? If I simply let it sit for 8 weeks with no fish, will the Ich die off in the tank? I'm a bit confused about what to do. Thanks.

10 weeks. let it sit with cuc and corals just remove all fish. 10 weeks fishless.
for fish setup a QT and place them there and treat with either copper or hypo or tank transfer.
there is a sticky on top of this forum. Guide to setup a QT.
good luck.

Fishless for 10 weeks to allow Ich to die off. Ghost feed tank every couple days. Nothing else.

OK great. I already have my fish in QT. I can continue to feed my coral, shrimp, and emerald crabs, correct? I use mysis.

Yes, continue to feed. Just don't use as much since you won't have any fish in there.
