Scorpionfish Eye Cloudy

[Marine Iguana]

Hey all, so for the past 2 days my yellow spotted scorpionfish has had a cloudy eye. It’s only his right eye, and it appears to be gazed over (similar to a cataract in an old dog). He is still eating very well and acting like his normal self, but I wanted to know if anyone knows what could be going on or if this could be serious.

Thanks for the help!

Sounds like an eye infection. Erythromycin in a QT is your best treatment option for that.

@Lionfish Lair seems to prefer Furan 2 & Kanaplex for lionfish.
