Tailspot blenny with cloudy eye

[Brad Coughlan]

Hey everyone

My tailspot blenny's left eye has been a bit cloudy for a few days (sorry for bad image quality)
You can see that the left eye has a layer of white over it, I will try my best to get clearer shots if required
- thanks!

This is likely a result of an injury being one eye and fish should be treated in a separate tank using maracyn as pictured below for at least 5 days or until fully cleared

Thank you!
I am assuming it's from scratching on a rock or something, is the treatment 100% required, or could it heal naturally?

Yes as they spook easily and dart into crevices

Yeah that makes sense

You can keep an eye on it. If not improving, treatment is a must as fish can get retina damage and loss of sight
