I've got an ich problem I need to get in front of, so I am planning to start tank transfer method to get my remaining fish healthy (lost two already). Meanwhile, planning to let my DT go fallow, but curious if any of these can stay in place while it is fallow...

Cleaner shrimp
Red-legged hermit
Scarlet reef hermit
Coco worm
Torch coral
Hammer coral
Astrea snail
Bubble tip anemone

Thoughts?

Cryptocaryon needs a fish host to complete its life cycle, so you are safe to leave all invertebrates in the DT while it goes fallow.

Exactly.
