Go to the beach and catch yourself a sand crab.

I think your LFS might be on to something.

I went deep see fishing off of long beach last week and saw some big nasty isopods coming out of the gills of a sand dab that was pulled onto the boat. Also, I caught a sheephead and saw two small isopods running down it's side when I pulled the fish out of the water. Grossed me out!

Ive seen the parasitic ones too, while fishing in Hawaii i grabbed my catch and one latched onto me! scary stuff haha.

They look cool and the big ones are detritivores. Just something exotic to look at
