Limpet or Isopod on Fish?

[splix]

I found what I think is a limpet or isopod on my regal angel today. It looked about the size of a flatworm so it wasnt a huge one. I pulled the regal and scraped it off him real quick so it didnt go back inside the tank.

Anything else you think I should do? Anything to honestly be even worried about?

I've not added fish in months. I've added a little bit of coral. No other fish has any that I've seen, just the isolated incident.

Do you have a photo or can provide more details? An isopod would look like this on a fish (maybe just smaller in your case):

However, flukes on the skin are much smaller, translucent, and would look like this:

That's a great isopod picture! You should add that one to the isopod info page... if you haven't already @Humblefish

It may not have been an isopod, but I'm (hoping) pretty sure it wasnt flukes. It seemed too big to be a fluke. I dont have pics because as soon as I saw it I just went to get it off the regal asap.
I've not seen anything like it since.

Hmm.. Well if you see another be sure to snap a couple pictures and we will see if we can help you ID it. Oh, and Welcome to R2R btw.
