It's a rather more... symbiotic relationship, but I still think the most creepy is the tongue-eating louse (Cymothoa exigua).
The name doesn't quite do it justice since it doesn't exactly eat a fishes tongue, it latches on, eventually absorbs and ultimately replaces the tongue, becoming physically attached.
It doesn't actually kill a fish though. Fully functions as a tongue, just happens to pinch a bit of the food for itself.
It says "Yo!"
