Sudden fish death

Marine velvet disease is the infection of the dinoflagellate called Amyloodinium ocellatum. It is one to avoid, because of its ability to kill saltwater fish in less than 24 hours. 

As the dinoflagellate thrives in warm water, marine velvet usually overtakes during the summer months, making it the riskiest time for your saltwater fish.
