    I hate to break it to you but isopods are like roaches. If you see one, there just might be a lot more. Unfortunately, if you do have more, the only solution will be for you to go 100% fish free for up to 8 months. :(

    The pic with the clown totally looks like an Isopod. If it is parasitic your screwed but all Isopods are not evil. You might want to do that curl up test.

    "Cirolanids attaching to or burrowing into and out of their food source, including "predators" that have "eaten" them, are prevalent enough to convince me that anything that doesn't kill their prey by chewing or tearing it apart will not help with their removal"

    Taken from that article. In a word GROSS. Talk about horror movie fodder. You eat something to have it borrow out of you. :-X
    I guess the clown will be the test.
