I've had this clownfish for a while, (2 years or so) and he's still pretty small, and his eyes were always kinda weird shaped (not extremely deformed, just slightly angled). Its kinda hard to get a good clear pic of it, but today I noticed that he's got some fuzz or something over one of his eyes. It's pretty small, but I'm not sure what. He's acting normal (eating well), but the female does sometime pick on him a little. Should I be worried? I'll try to attach some pics:

Probably just a battle wound. Just keep your water prestine and keep em well fed and it will heal on its own. Really don't see much on it and fish if given pristine water and well fed with good food are really good at healing wounds or disease on there own without people intervening.

Thanks a bunch. That is a nice relief. I’ll keep an eye on it, keep feeding well, and do a good water change. Hopefully it resolves itself. Thanks again for your feedback.
