Check the Library you should see some things on how to treat ich but ich/ick is not that bad of a sickness especially for a healthy adult cichlid I would recommend a treatment from jungle to help cure the many ill fish if it spreads anymore after the treatment change 100% of the water and everything should be back to normal after a few days.

yes, you will want to treat for Ich . There is a method that uses salt and raised temps but i cant tell you how to use that one since i dont use it (not because it wont work but simply cause i use the meds). Follow the directions on the bottle if you use a over the counter treatment such as ick cure. Vacume the substrate very well since they will be in the substrate for part of the life cycle. I also recommend that you do a full treatment, take a break for a day or two (use carbon and do water change during this time ) then do a second treatment as a preventative since the fish could look cured but then get re infected from one lone survivor in the substrate etc...
