(there is no such thing as Ich in salt water)
Hey Joel, not meaning any disrespect, but could you clarify that? I have read "tons" about "ich" in saltwater fish.

I would also like to here this. Cryptocaryoniasis - "marine ich". Better known as Cryptocaryon irritans. I am also confused Gary.

Ich is short for Ichthyophthirium Multifilis
(sp?)
which is a freshwater parasite.
Some of the parasites in our saltwater aquariums look similar and are often generically referred to as ich but are not Ichthyophthirium Multifilis.
