They kinda look like parasitic copepods (definately different than your regular 'pods)

I don't kno the answer about the Prazi tho.

Hey have you spoken to J&L about the Jawfish? With those monster parasites, I would think they would have something helpful to say about your situation.

Copepods would have an exo-skeleton wouldn't they? These guys were soft bodied.

I sent an email off a couple hours ago, so I haven't heard back yet. I'm in a hurry to get ready to leave tomorrow morning!

Yikes! I wouldn't want to find those on my fish. I hope J&L has some answers for you, they're usually pretty good about things.

The parasites weren't on the fish, they were IN the fish. Fish get parasites in the ocean, it's pretty natural. I don't look to J&L for answers, just credit.

Good point
