Id on parasite please

[wlyon]

My powder brown tang has developed what looks like anchor worm on his side and one above his eye. Seeing as though anchor worms don't really exist in saltwater. I need help with an ID he swims way to fast for a photo. Plan on putting him in my QT tonight so I can get a good pic then.

There are many parasitic copepods which attack marine fish, e.g. the genus Caligus.
