Hi John,
I believe this was the paper suggesting that butterflyfish may be playing a role in spreading SCTLD.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00338-020-01986-8
I did not personally interpret its findings as clearly establishing the fact that butterflyfish are primary vectors of this disease. I do think the paper suggests that various benthic dwelling forms of marine life should be considered as possible vectors of this particular coral disease.
Regards,
Steve

Dear List,
Apparently I have been missing something. Can someone suggest
available, peer-reviewed papers demonstrating that butterfly fish are
spreading SCTLD or other coral diseases.
Thanks in advance,
John
