She's really not in bad shape at all. I should probably not screw with it real fast. I'll bring the temperature up slowly and lower the salinity slowly. I need some water changes anyways, so I'll start making RO water in earnest.

I can also suggest, that if the fish is not flashing, you can leave it alone.
When I have a tang that is getting ich, I do a couple of things. I get some real macroalgae for it to
eat, I let my tank go to **** and try not to put my hands in the water at all, or even go into the
room for that matter. I go in for feeding and that is it. MOST fish can beat the outbreak if they
have less or no stress. That said I lost a Hepatus tang with this method, and I watched a yellow,
pictured above, beat it cold. I find the stress of catching and quarantining fish pushes them over
the edge. Especially given how we have to catch them with all the rock, coral etc. Many die the
first nite of qt.
