baby clowns have ich

i just got a couple baby snowflake clowns and after 3 or 4 days of having them in a small enclosure, safe from my two black and while clowns and large-er chromis, i noticed the worst. they have little white dots on their fins and body, so i know its ich. they seem healthy, although i noticed one the other day, sitting at the bottom until i came by and shook the fuge. i fed him right after and he was back to normal. began feeding them twice a day now, starting yesterday. haven't seem laying on the bottom since, but the ich is there. what should i do? i noticed my black and white clowns got it, but that was 6 months ago and they have no signs of ich. they got through it in a couple of weeks. my chromis never got ich. all my inverts are fine. coral are too. im only worried since these are baby clowns the size of your fingernail. WHAT TO DO? NO CHEMICALS!
 
Over the years, I've always made sure I had a bottle of SOMETHING for Ich ... always chemicals and thankfully never had to use them. What I have on hand now is Microbe-Lift by Herbtana for Reef & Marine. My neighbor did get Ich and used it ... it works! 100% chemical free, natural expellant. For the past year ... prior to quarantine and after quarantine ... I use this as a dip with acclimation for ALL fish.

Or ... if you want to pay the Priority Mail postage ... I can mail tomorrow and you should have it Wednesday ... I can send you a few ounces. It doesn't take much, but requires use for 10 days.
 
Yes. Instructions said to use it for 10 days, which I did even though the tang was cured in a few. I just wanted to make sure.
