Hi Guys,
My fish got hit by velvet.... I was diagnosing it as W/S and well I was wrong.. Amazing thing is my fish have lived with it for a week before it became lethal.. Got some Chloroquin which I will dose tonight and hopefully rescue the rest of my livestock. It was a bad time for me last night...

I thought to include this to help others as it did me.
Marine Velvet Disease: Symptoms, Treatment, and PreventionVeterinary & Aquatic Services Department, Drs. Foster & Smith
Marine velvet disease is one of the most common diseases that affects marine aquarium fish. It is known by a variety of names including; amyloodiniosis, marine oodinium disease, oodiniosis, and gold dust disease. The scientific name of the infecting organism is Amyloodinium ocellatum. Amyloodinium is a one-celled organism called a dinoflagellate because it has whip-like structures (flagella) which help it move. It is highly adapted to parasitism. There are many free-living dinoflagellates present in most aquatic environments, but this particular species is one of the few that will actually cause disease in fish. This disease is widespread and can cause serious illness and death in aquarium fish if not recognized and treated quickly and properly. This article will give a description of the disease and offer treatment and prevention strategies....
