I somehow introduced ich to my established SPS system. I understand that removing all fish for treatment and letting the tank go fishless for weeks is the only way to totally irradicate ich from the system, but removing all the fish is NOT an option.

Is it possible to rely on natural immunity to keep fish healthy despite the presence of ich?

(fish list includes: powder blue tang, half-black mimic tang, copperband butterfly, flame angel, bluethroat trigger, pinstripe wrasse)

Dose garlic and feed often and hope for the best. If they die, they die. Buy new ones.

You should try fishing for them, just take the barb off the hook. Every one you catch is a fish that survives. A PBT has little chance of fighting ich off in the long run
