Any parasitic infection can cause it, but if it's just the one eye, then it probably got injured. If it gets infected, then it will turn cloudy next. Epsom salt can help with the swelling though.

Also, rally says it's reef safe. Has it ever been tested? Reason I ask is if like to treat my other qt but it has zoas in it...

It's just the one eye...so brook could do it...

Also what is the compatibility with Epsom salt and rally?

I've never tested it. I think one or two people said it worked fine for them, but I can't remember much of the circumstances. If you don't feel too strongly about those zoas you could test it.
The one eye usually means it's just an injury. If it were brook causing it, then I would expect both eyes to be cloudy and swollen.
Epsom salt shouldn't cause any problems when mixed with Rally.

Today she looks the same still. Gf is picking up Epsom salt when she comes back to the house after work tonight. I'll start that tonight. What's the recommended amount?

After further inspection it looks like either skin is peeling off of her on her head or bubbles in the skin. @melypr1985.
What do you think?

This pretty much confirms that the fish has Brook.

Yes...I have ruby dosed in my qt currently....not sure it's working too well...might have to switch to formalin.

The mucus sloughing off is a response to the parasite. The parasite needs to be cleared for awhile before you will see that visible symptom improved. Going back in the thread it looks like you just started treating yesterday, correct? If so, give it a little more time.

Sorry, I've never used Epsom salts but I'll dig around and see what I can find to help you with that.
