My maroon clown has what appears to be a white copepods on two different fins. Each copepod is about 1/16" long. None of the other fish has them. Should I be concerned?

Sounds like an Isopod to me,,,, please post a pic or research further if you can.

If it is an isopod then it can be bad news,, get them off.

Could be Isopods :( .

I was afraid someone would like a picture or wants me to pull them off.

Catching a clown in a 125gal with 150 lbs of rock is tough. I haven't been able to get a picture that shows enough detail to be worth posting.

If it is a Isopod. Is there any treatment that won't kill out corals? Is pulling them off the only treatment? I have too many fish to isolate them to the QT tank together.
