Found this (leech?, copeopod?) critter on the eyeball of a Red Irish Lord.
Port Hardy, British Columbia. Any ideas?

That was my first thought as well.
Ever heard of a leech attaching to the eyeball of a fish?
The only reason I thought copeopod was there appear to be two rounded appendages as well, toward the right side of the body.
