I hate to use these words, but this type of fish is clumsy and Clutzy and bump into everything especially when excited. Looks like an eye injury from getting scratched. While it may clear on its own, I recommend a level of protection either using ruby rally pro (tank/reef safe)which will take a few days to gain effect or Maracyn AKA Maracyn 1 which is ethromyacin in a seperate tank with added aeration which works faster.Meet Chewy, he's the most attentive craved lil man. I have checked everything inside his tank. Water and everything is perfect. I have noticed almost a week ago, something caused his eye distress and it's white and looks sore. We have rocks and I wonder if he poked his eye on a rock or something else. any feedback is strongly encouraged. Thanks,
Chewy's human
Thanks a bunch for the reply, indeed he's very clumsy lol I'll try that
Welcome to Reef2Reef!
I can’t see clearly enough, does it look like a silvery bubble inside the eye? If so, that is a common reaction to some damage to the eye, it produces a gas bubble. There isn’t any treatment for this, but sometimes they get better on their own in a few weeks.
YES! Great way to explain it, looks like a bit of damage on the outer eye, I've not seen cloudy eye like it, I'm pretty sure it's injury.Thanks, I'll keep posted
