When i woke up in the morning was the first time i seen it, i gently picked up the clown and the parasite came off pretty easily, i hope hes the only one!Dang it's as sinister as it looks! How long has it been on your clown?
I got him off and killed it, is there a chance that theres more internal ones?Catch it before it let's go! Watch the tank at night to be sure it is the only one. The external ones often drain a host dry then move on to the next... vampires!
He came off pretty easily, after seeing these comments i hope hes the only one in there lolHoly crap that thing is sinister! Yeah my gut tells me to catch your fish and kill the parasite, then gently remove it once dead. I would put the clown in a qt and treat for infections that are likely to follow.

They would be a different species so it would be horrible luck for you to have both kinds in your tank. You would be more likely to have more of this guy hidden in the rockI got him off and killed it, is there a chance that theres more internal ones?
I hope hes the only one! I thought it was a harmless sea roach but never seen them on a fish so i wanted to check just to make sure, glad i did lolThe last three pictures of these I have seen recently, have been on clownfish!
I hope that's the last. It's not very often that I have seen clusters of the parasitic types. Usually it's one and done...... usually.
