Gulf and Caribbean Research

Lymphocystis disease is reported for the first time from the Koran angelfish, Pomacanthus semicirculatus; the Moorish idol, Zanclus canescens; the foureye butterflyfish, Chaetodon capistratus; and the orbiculate bat fish, Platax orbicularis. Also, lymphocystis is reported the second time from the queen angelfish, Holacanthus ciliaris. All hosts are commercially important exotic aquarium fishes.
