Parasite on baby clown

[wakerider017]

What is this parasite (sorry about the poor pic quality) and how do I treat?

Clown is only about an inch. Came out of QT about 3 days ago and got to go in the DT. Now he has a parasite attached.

The parasite is no longer visible on the clown.. Wonder if it fell off or it is attached internally now?

Probably fell off. I'd guess its some type of isopod. they can be removed with tweezers.

It's a cirolanid isopod. They attach at night and suck the fish's blood. If you have one, chances are you have more. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/bp/index.php

Nasty critters. Might have to set a trap.
