Just now I was moveing some rocks around in my tank. I felt something crawling on my hand, I figured it was my cleaner shrimp. When I felt a bite. I pull my and out and there is a isopod stuck to my hand. I pulled it out and the sob drew blood from me. I know these guys are bad news, how do I get rid of them? If there is one there has to be more. I am going to kill the guy in my lfs I am 100% sure it came with the chetto and rubble rock I got for my fuge. Please help!

yes some larger / more aggressive pods can bite. one of the reasons you should wear gloves when handling rock, you never know what you can touch. (i do not practive what i preach) get a mandarin if you have enough rock, and / or a 6 line. they should munch those things up.

YUCK! Could you imagine that in your tank?
That sucks that you go bit! This is why I always where gloves, my husband never does, and he's been stung a million times by our bubble coral.
If you do get something to get rid of them, don't get both a mandarin and a sixline. When they run out of the isopods, the sixline will kill the mandarin over food.
