Ahhhhh I got bit!!

[emeraldeyes_bc]

I discovered a another crab hitchhiker in my rock and was putting a trap in the water... As I was doing that I felt a sting on my arm and noticed a tiny bug biting me! I pulled out my arm and by instinct flicked it off and there was a little blood where it was. (Don't know where the bug went.
I didn't get a good look at what it was because it happened so fast... What do you think it was?? By a quick google search my first guess is Cirolanid copepods please tell me there's some other option and I don't have to fight this battle with a fish less tank for 6 months???? Because at this point I may just shut her down completely if that's the case

Aha! So this is what bit me in the diving bahamas. A swarm of these stupid things hit the back of my neck and bit away. I got like 10-15 bites and was OK.

I think you mean isopod. I am not sure on the treatment for them since they aren't very common.
