Hi all. I got a McCosker's Wrasse on Friday, and I noticed today that he has a little bit of cloud in one of his eyes (this is the first time that he let me close enough for a real good look of him). He's eating well and has started coming out of hiding more often. Is this something I should be worried about? Here's a pic of the eye in question:

Please ignore the floaties in the pic. I had the pumps off and had fed him as a bribe to get him to come out for a pic lol
 
Usually one eye is an injury. Both eyes cloudy a bacterial infection.

But wrasses can be fluke magnets. Consider doing a freshwater dip to check for flukes which could be causing the cloudy eye condition.

Will do. Thank you :)
