NT Labs Marine Anti-Parasite for White Spot and Velvet

Sugar-grain white spots scattered across a marine fish signal Cryptocaryon, or marine white spot, while a finer dusting points to Oodinium velvet. Both are protozoan parasites and often show up as flicking and scratching against rock and decor. NT Labs Marine Anti-Parasite uses chelated copper therapy boosted with formalin to tackle these fast, before losses mount across the display.

Marine parasites move quickly in our warm 27 to 29C tanks, and Singapore reefers often add fish bought at busy weekend meet-ups without quarantine, which is how most outbreaks start. Treat in a dedicated quarantine tank, never the main reef, because copper is lethal to corals, inverts and live rock. Test copper levels and dose precisely; too little fails and too much harms the fish.

Quarantine every new fish for the best long-term results. Our four-week marine quarantine guide and parasite identification guide help you act with confidence. Find more conditioners and medication.
