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, becoming the familiar worm shape.

The female buries into the skin and underlying tissue to hold on. The damage caused can become a target for bacterial or fungal infection which can spread.

Some products used to treat diseases caused from Achor Worm are Microbe-Lift Lice & Anchor Worm and ProForm-LA.
