Is it panic time yet ??? After doing some research it looks like it may be a Sphaeromene isopod ?? I noticed that it stayed on the rock feeding on the algae so this is another good sign I guess.

There are a few predatory isopods that are parasitic to fish, but they don't look like what you have there. The majority of them are harmless.
