I recently noticed Isopods on a sick damsel of mine. Oddly enough they dont go on any other fish. How do i get rid of these things. One is white with black eyes( havent seen him since the crab ate him) the other is really small and brown in color. I was considering using coppersafe.
 
Isopods are best removed manually. Use a flashnight at night to spot them. I do not normally advocate the addition of livestock for parasitic control, but the sixline wrasse does a good job of eradicating isopods.
 
I agree the sixline would be the best bet. I would not use copper in your main tank.
