Can someone please help identify what this is? My mom saw it on the front panel of the tank this morning, when I woke up and checked the tank, I saw it attached to one of my Silver Aro's body. It looks like a really small stingray, or horseshoe crab (I know its neither but thats what it looks like). Its probably the size of a pencil eraser, maybe smaller. Attched are pretty blurry photos as it is hard to snap. You will need to zoom in on the pics to get a better view.

Could be fish lice. Dimilin would get rid of it if only one then pluck it off and that'll be the end of it. Pic isnt too clear when i enlarge it. Would retry with better pics. Any new tankmates?

Ended up getting lucky and grabbed it off with some aquascaping tweezers.

Fish lice. If it's just the one then get rid of it and watch the other fish. If more of them then consider dimilin.

Usually from another fish. Any new fish?
