Cryptocaryon irritans is a species of ciliate protozoa that parasitizes marine fish, causing marine white spot disease or marine ich (pronounced ik).

All ciliate possess multiple dimorphic nuclei which have separated the functions of protein synthesis, performed by the macronuclei or somatic-nuclei, and heritable DNA replication, performed by the micronuclei or germ-line nuclei.

Tintinnids are ciliates of the choreotrich taxon Tintinnida, distinguished by vase-shaped shells called loricae, which are mostly protein but may incorporate minute pieces of minerals (Agatha, Laval-Peuto & Simon 2013).
