Anchor worm

Anchor worm

Crustacean parasite, Lernaea. The juvenile stages settle in the gills of Koi, when they mature they mate and the male leaves the Koi, the fertilized female settles on the body of the Koi and continues to grow.

The female buries into the skin and underlying tissue to hold on. The damage caused can become a target for bacterial or fungal infection and other koi diseases which can spread.  Treating koi diseases may be fairly simple if you know what to do.

To treat this condition we recommend;  Clout ,  Trichloracide ,  Dimilin or Fluke Tabs
