My Fumanchu has one cloudy eye. From the searching I did online, I though it might have been flukes and dosed Prazipro. It's only been a day. But i'm thinking its not flukes. I've noticed no change. I would love some suggestions for treatment. I have some corals and inverts in this tank, so i'd prefer not to use copper. I am also willing to move him into a 5 gal tank if needed.

Not the best pics, but you should give you and idea.

I think I would move to a quaratine tank and treat for bacterial secondary infection also. Treating for both should cover all bases.

I have only used Triple Sulfa and Maraycn and Maracyn-Two They have all worked for me. But Probiotic Marine formula is supposed to be good and it treats for both, might be worth a try. Here's a medication chart that might be of use for ya...
