    Here you go check out this link.. and you determine if it's bad. Look under motile.. and look for Isopod...

    Link: LionfishLair.com - Library

    Me i would leave it in there. but that's just me...

    Good Luck..!!

    Looks to be a pod from the Sphaeromatidae family. Should be considered safe.

    Have you ruled out that it's a parasitic species of isopod?
