Hoover's Wrasse with White cloudy eyes

[oneilwiz]

Hello everyone,

The wrasse I have for 6years + have both eyes white and cloudy. At this point, I don't think he can see because he doesn't respond to food and if I put my hand near him he doesn't move. This fish would have normally run away and moved aggressively towards food. Any idea what to do? It was hiding for a week now he appears laying sideways on the sand sometimes.

Any new additions to the tank?

new additions was corals. I read the thread, bummer, I had my wrasse for 6 years plus i had gotten it big.

That’s probably it and too bad

Yep, wrasses have some of the shortest lifespans... it’s just getting close to it’s time He’s beautiful though, kudos for giving him a long, healthy life!

thanks guys, well he is still kicking buried under the sand, pop up his head then go back. Checked for him at his spot where I left him, he is nowhere to be found, I guess hiding somewhere.
