White Spot on Eyeball?

Seth Francis · Feb 10, 2018

So I have a coral beauty that has recently grown this white spot on its eye. I couldn’t get any pics to show well so I took a video.

Also, I recently put a fire shrimp in and the angel is OBSESSED with it! It is constant swimming into the shrimp begging for some attention. Is this stressful to the shrimp? He seems calm enough with the situation but it is funny.

I think it's just Lympho on the eyeball: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/lymphocystis.257461/

However, that's a bad spot for Lympho to be so watch out for a possible secondary infection.

Hard to tell from the video what it is. Does it look like a bubble on the eye?

Like this:

This fish is now 2 years older than when this pic was taken and still has the bubble. You can try Epsom salts if it seems to bother him but it didn't work for my PJ

That’s actually exactly what I was thinking as well, anything you recommend to treat him? Aminos or vitamins?

Not quite, it’s got a broccoli like texture to it
