Record as parasite on cnidarians: This ciliates infects corals reported from Caribbean areas Sweet et al. (2011)
Remarks: Brown jelly Syndrome (BJS) initially ( Borneman & Lowrie 2001) was suspected associated with ciliate pathogen Helicostoma nonatum . Later, it was proposed that disease caused by ciliate belongs to subclass Scuticociliatia ( Borneman 2002). Sweet et al. (2011) stated about the confusion on identity and nomenclature of Helicostoma nonatum in the literature and suggested the proper name for the BJS ciliate is Philaster sp. Although, further research is necessary to fully understand these diseases.
