Found this little guy in my filter sock. Bad or harmless?
Not sure related but coincidentally, my Blue Throat Trigger that I had for about 6 months (fully quarantined for 45 days prior to main tank, healthy, ate like a pig) started swimming around like it was "drunk" about 2 weeks ago, not eating and just letting food pass by. Now it just hides all day, doesn't come out for feeding. I didn't see any isopod on the body before it began hiding 24/7 though I did notice it's belly was really fat. Totally had me scratching my head as to what could be causing him discomfort. All other fish look normal, no visible isopods.
Also took a video to see if it can roll up like a pill bug as I read that it could help with ID. It can roll up though it doesn't stay rolled up as can be seen in video.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.
