Backstory: I have a flame angel who got a cloudy eye (lasted 2 weeks) which then developed into popeye. It’s possible that a coral beauty damaged the eye in the QT.

Will it be like this forever? Here’s both sides of the fish. It’s only one eye.

I’ve seen and had many recoveries from eye issues.
While in quarantine, treat it with maracyn 1 (ethromyacin), which should help it heal

It’s day 3 of erythromycin. Tomorrow is supposed to be last day.

Does anyone know when I should expect the eye to turn back to normal? How do I know if the eye is permanently damaged (my fear)?
