Pretty sure it was Brooklynella hostilis. I've been keeping SW tanks since the mid 1980s, dealt with ick a number of times. Run a QT but this got past and into my DT. Best guess is I also have Brook in my newer reef tank, that has some mini lemon peel cromis. I moved some wet inverts from the reef to this FOWLR. I quess the moral of the story is don't trust any tank - not even your own.
This was something very evil that crashed the entire tank in less than a week from when it was first noticed.
Nice stable tank of 14 years with some fish 10+ year old. I stopped adding fish to it 2 years ago as I hit max capacity and some of the sturgonfish were just huge. Did not want to upset the balance.
It's a 90 FOWLR, all the inverts,crabs,snails etc are just fine. All fish are dead or out. I do run UV on this tank.
Not 100% sure this was brook but it was some form of parasite - the question is What's the longest living one and how long to wait before adding fish again?
