Monterey Aquarium hit
The disease has even found its way through the filtration system of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which uses sea water in its tanks. Michael Murray, the director of veterinary services, said the aquarium carefully controls temperatures and other factors like salinity, but cannot keep out natural impurities.
"There is something going on in the water," Murray said. "Unfortunately, we're not really sure what it is, so we really don't have the ability to say what it isn't."
Raimondi said he believes the starfish are succumbing mainly to a secondary bacterial infection caused by the disease, which spreads in the water almost like the common cold among the dense, often interwoven, populations of starfish.
