I’m going to QT my fish and treat them with copper for the ich, and leave my tank fallow (with coral). What should I do with snails and shrimp, because they can’t handle copper power, but won’t they also keep the ich alive in my display tank?? Advice much needed. Thanks!

Ich requires fish to survive - inverts can be left in the dt. After 60 days, all ich will have starved out.
I only have one cleaner trip and six turbo snails. Do I even need to feed anything? Or will they just feed off of my rock and my leftover coral food?

I would feed as usual, but you don’t need as much since no fish will be present.
