Second Opinion Needed: Pop-eye on Firefish? Or 6 Line Wrasse attack...

[ChuneReef]

Hello everyone,

When doing my daily maintenance on my tank today I noticed damage to my firefish's eye/surrounding tissue. Please see attached video.

I've had her for 4-5 months now and she has always been amazingly healthy. While I've noticed the six-line be aggressive towards her in the past, it was always minor fin-nipping during feeding time without much conviction.

Personally I believe the six-line caused the damage. In the video attached, I recorded the six-line being MUCH more aggressive than usual. I'm planning on moving the six-line to my frag tank tomorrow regardless. I just need a second opinion here to decide if I should begin treatment for pop-eye, as I'm not sure if the wrasse was getting extra nippy because he knew my sick firefish was an easier target, or if he is directly responsible for the damage.

Thanks

Just dawned on me that I probably should just upload it to youtube so no one has to download any files. Please check out the video and let me know what you think
