I am kind of nervous on the answer on this one. I have heard so many horror stories on isopods. I discovered the two large ones of these on the bottom of the tank (bare bottom, so they were kind of easy to spot).

I discovered the smaller two attached to a snail.

Are these isopods? If they are isopods, do you think there is much change they will only attack the snails? I have no idea how species specific isopods are.

I will keep an eye out for removing them, I just wonder how much risk there is to both my fish and my inverts.
