solidsnakejv hears surf in the shell
Yellow tang with black ick.

I have a yellow tang in a 90 gallong tank. I noticed about 5 days ago that the tang had black spots on it's body, which have slightly increased since. I have 5 other fish in the tank that do not have any black spots.
I did some research on how to treat. Fresh water bath and formalin. I also read about Hyposalinity treatment.
I don't have a QT tank and i can't get one any time soon.
How can i treat the ick an remove it by doing the treatment in the main tank. I have 100 pounds of live rock. I also have 5 mexican turbo snails and about 7 hermit crabs.

It would be a pain to catch the tang for freshwater baths, but even that wouldn't cure it right away. Would formalin treatment in the main tank not be good for my fish, interbrates and live rock? Would hyposalinity be bad for my snails and hermits?
