Might have to eat my own words re: quarantine

[The Grizz]

I have no idea what triggered it in my 65 gal but I did add a few coral and a couple fish a few weeks prior to MV totally wiping out the tank. Tried to treat all the fish but it was to late.

That is what has me puzzled. The last addition was maybe 5, 6 weeks ago. The fish was doing well, no marks, eating, not stressed. I would expect the pathogen to hit in week 1, not a month and a half later.
