Positive on the isopod ID, pill bug with big black eyes on top. The unknown is whether or not they are parasitic.

I have TONS of isopods in my tank have had them since I bought it 5 years ago and the populations just keep growing. The back of my tank has about 10 per square inch right now. I have 2 clowns that are about 6 years old and a Blenny that has been in the tank 9 months. I would say dont worry about it.
Its not worth stressing about I think the natural ratio of herbivore to predator is always in favour of the green eaters. I have seen narly looking worms, algae, pods, etc. and in time they all either dissappeared or flourished so much that it became obvious they weren't harming anything. Cheers, Ken

When I first added fish to my tank, I found that I had isopods in there. I used chunks of halibut in a small narrow necked spice jar and trapped them all in about 3 evenings. After that, never saw another.
