Lymphocystis Virus in Saltwater Aquariums
The appearance of the Lymphocystis virus in saltwater aquarium fish is fairly common. Much like the various forms of Ich, though not normally fatal in and of itself (death is usually caused by secondary bacterial or fungal infection), this virus can spread through an entire fish community in a very short period of time. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential while prevention is fairly simple.

What Hyposalinity Kills
Osmotic Shock Therapy (also known as O.S.T. or Hyposalinity) is one of the most effective, non chemical treatments for Saltwater ich (cryptocaryon). Hyposalinity will kill corals and many other desirable animals in a reef tank, but can also be used to eliminate a number of SW aquarium pests.
