No sorry but I do not have a link.I am going by what has been told to me after consulting with a national name store. It was reviewed by several people and a an exotic animal veterinarian. They also can't be 100 % sure. But that is the best conclusion that could be made using just photography...

Here is another photo. I did euthanize this fish.

Thanks Beth. It's been determined those are a parasitic copepod. To treat them as I have been. Now if I can just figure out how not to get them. Really think the frozen blood worms were contaminated.

I know this is crazy but they honestly look like blood worms. I feed them frozen but not live. I do believe they are nematodes. Hardest thing I've ever seen to kill. They lived even thru euthanasia to one of the fish. Chromis are doing better. No treatment seems to kill them though. H2O changes...

Oh my!! Thanks Guy !! I have searched and looked at Beth's link but nothing looks like them exactly. They are almost black to look at them but when I magnify they look a clearish color. I'm not sure what to think. Do you feel this is a parasite only a wild caught fish could have ?? Geeze...I...

Yes I did. It could be those. Before I saw any sign of the worms I noticed the clowns do a swimming backwards motion like against the current. Don't know if that was a sign of impending infestation or not. A neon goby wouldn't go near them. Guess they were too much for him.

Thanks Beth. The clowns are all deceased now. 3 green chromis still in isolation. Saw one parasite that fell off with freshwater bath. Hoping for the best just would really like to know what this is.the worms look black but lighter if magnified. I do believe they are wild caught.

They are being treated in isolation now with Clout. No one seems sure exactly what they are. I think maybe the fish are being wild caught even though they are supposed to be tank raised.

They are coming from a distribution supplier. On trigger and eel over a long period of time it was killed by a product called Clout. I was able to pick the few off the anthias. These clowns are covered. The photo is of one of them dead. I don't have a quarantine tank.

I have no ideal what this worm is or how to treat it.seems to show up about 3-4 weeks after receiving the fish. Has been found on anthias, eels, trigger and now maroon clowns.
