Oh man! You just noticed it? Did he have two eyes when you got him? How long have you had him?

does the injured eye look milky? its hard to tell from the pictures. If so it would be prudent to put him in QT and run a course of antibiotics like kanaplex.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
