I would call BW and let them know

I've seen dino's in the tanks there a few times so its totally possible.


Either way since its a parasite of any type if your fish all die off you'd need to go fallow for at least 6-8 weeks to let the parasite die off in your tank, then qt new fish before stocking again.

Sorry for your lose(s) its tuff to lose the little buggers.

True.. But honestly why in the world would you even buy a fish from a tank that has sick fish.. Let alone take it home and put it in your tank..

He didn't say he bought any fish, just coral and a featherduster.

I should have walked away when I noticed the sick fish but I haven't noticed anyone with feather dusters in while.

From what I read there called a Dino simply from the whip like tail they use to propel themselves

Correct

From the short time that the fish looks sick, to being dead, And the looks of the body's after, I'm pretty sure it's marine velvet. At this point there's nothing I can do now but wait until the parasite starves itself out. I just hope that everyone else who reads this is more cautious than I was when they purchase their next tank inhabitant.

So I'm confused lol can or can they not cause MV? I've read they could or at least carry it in the goo that sits on the sand, but have also read its bologna lol. :S
