I think it piggy backed on a lobster my husband bought for me last July. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=18012

The only fish that survived that outbreak, was my yellow tang. I kept him in quarantine for 4 weeks but he never showed any sign of having marine velvet. Other fish, that I added after to the tank he was in never showed any sign either. It didn't show up until all the fish were added to the bowfront.

Lesson learned? Everything wet added to a reef tank needs to be quarantined first
