I think it's important to understand this. Causes for relapse or maybe a mistaken remission are key to better understanding these protist's abilities.
So, we think that the infection starts with very clean conditions without normal algae and a decimated biodiversity. Younger immature systems are the most susceptible... ULNS for example, excessive continuous heavy skimming, no feeding, Lanthanun Chloride, use of algaecides, chemicals that kill the biofauna, dead rock missing the normal host of bacteria and pods, etc...
For a previously clean system to go back your require an offset in the biological balance and negligence usually creates a bias towards an algae tank, not a dino tank. It should take active effort to get sick again.
What did you do/not do for the weeks before it came back?
