I don't think that its lice that your fish has,I think it might be a cause of Marine Ich.

here is a Web site that talks about what Ich is and how to treat it. Ich info page

Im not sure about sw tanks, but my 55gallon had lice about 2 years ago..its freshwater ...i literally took one of my oscars down to the pet store, (he was about 6 inches long) and asked the owner what the heck was on him...it was fish lice!!! i had never heard of that but it looks almost like the real human lice LOL ...all I remember is treating with something that turned the water blue...
