I've only ever seen pictures in books. That is one freaky looking parasite.

Most of the small isopods in your tank are beneficial scavengers and do not harm fish. There are species like this that are fish parasites. But trying to remove all the isopods from your tank is probably not necessary.

I had those. It turned out not to be such a big deal as they are pretty easy to catch. I was pretty concerned when I first saw one attached to my yellow tang, though!
