Finally got my tusk. He's being held at the LFS for another 3 weeks. Guy wants to ensure everything is ok with it. But here are the pics. Comments welcome.

Yeah. Had ich and lost everyone but huma, lunar wrasse, and yellow watchman. Lfs is going to keep it for 3 weeks. Wanna ensure I got the ich gone. Been about 3 weeks now. No one has signs, but not chancing it.

I treated it, but got a QT and lfs is still holding it for 3 more weeks. Not going to chance it. If there is any sign of it, I already told the lfs I'm not getting it. So they lfs owner is really working with me.

Anyone got any advice for this guy? Anything from personal experience and I haven't read? Tank mates that have and haven't worked?
