Noticed this little hitch hiker catching a ride and a feast on my ora clown.

I fresh water dipped him to get it off of it, but what the heck was it and is it the reason for all the black dots appearing on my otherwise vibrant clown?

I'd imagine that if there is one, there are more. What can i do about this?

Thanks,

Looks like an isopod and you need to remove it now or it will kill the fish, have babies and kill everything in the tank.
Using twizzers carefully tear the isopod of the fish. It will leave holes in the fish. Place the fish in a QT for a few days using neomycin as the anti-bacterial medication. Be very carefull with the measurements and do not use charcoal.
After you place the fish back in your tank observe to make sure there are no other isopods
