Hi All,

I have a Flame Angel that I picked up from the LFS about two weeks ago. It is a good size...about 2 inches long.

He or she has adjust well to my 150 gallon tank but tonight I noticed that its right eye was a little cloudy. The rest of the fish in the tank which are a clown, damsel and goby are fine as well as the corals in the tank. All are doing well and thriving.

The flame angel is real active and has a strong appetite. I test the pH and it is a good 8.2 to 8.4 with two different test kits. All water into the tank is RO/DI and I change about 20 gallons every two weeks.

What should I do? Should I wait it out and see if it gets better? I read that it could be an eye injury from fighting with other fish which would make sense since the flame angel is new to the tank. Should I keep a close eye on the flame's eye and see if it gets worse and then pull the flame and medicate? If so, what medication?

Thanks!
