Read something on reflection of the fishes retina?

That's 100% exactly what that is. It's perfectly normal, has nothing to do with disease or parasites, and it depends on your angle of view and the lighting. You can see it in some fish better than others like in leaf fish and some other scorps. Fish like that sit very still so its easier to observe for a longer amount of time and doesn't give that illusion of blinking.
 
Prazipro will work if it's worms in the gills, but not a parasite such as ich or velvet. You would need to treat with copper or CP for that.
And copper treatment lasts
not sure , but this morning that clown has a yellowish tinted stringy poop artatched to him. Just tried feeding a few pellets and neither went for it.

White stringy poop would be indicative of intestinal worms, which Prazipro should take care of.
 
Bring this back to the OP........

“They don't have eyelids,” said fish physiology expert Richard Brill, affiliate faculty at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science in Gloucester Point, Va. That means fish don't blink or close their eyes. Ever. The only exception is a shark, which has a nictitating membrane that works something like an eyelid.
