Isopod (tick)

I finally got an ID on a small parasite I had seen a few times in my tank. I saw something swimming super fast through the water... almost like there was a fly inside my tank. The other day I was able to get a positive ID on it before it burrowed into the sand. Sure enough, it looks like a Creoland Isopod. I was hoping there was a way to get this guy and any other like it out of my tank. I wanted to avoid QT, as I dont have another aquarium available. Is there any other ways to get rid of these pests? ? ... P.S. I noticed that my yellow watchman goby has a flesh injury on its side. It looks almost like a rash. The area is whitish, it looks as if something scraped off the scales in the area. I'm freakin out, I hope these things aren't gettin at my fish alive....Anyone have any useful info?
