Aquabiomics finds these pathogens in hobby tanks...
Q8 What coral pathogens are detected in the hobby?
LinkQ8
Of nine suspected pathogens responsible for Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, four are found in the hobby, with a couple of them in 20% of tanks. (the strongest candidate - in 100% of wild diseased corals, was in 3% of hobby tanks.) It’s impossible to know if these pathogens affect our corals because we are mixing pathogens from the caribbean with corals that aren’t from the caribbean. So they would never meet in nature, thus there’s no data on them.
There’s also an R2R thread on aquabiomics nailing down Brown Jelly Disease to one particular bacteria.
