Use ocean free '0' Anchor Worm & Fish Lice will help.

If its just an individual or a few just catch the fish out and scrape the louse away. If heavy infestation occurs you can treat the tank with medication like what bluez mentioned. They're commonly transmitted to your tank via feeders, new fishes, plants and substrate. So avoid feeding feeders, do quarantine any new fishes and wash your plants/substrate thoroughly.

Cheers

+1. Have used this medication to good effect and there were no ill effects on the fish or plants.

Very commonly transmitted via feeder fish, especially the 'torsat'.
