Blind coral beauty

[reefergeorge]

She hasn' t been out as much as normal, and today I notice she doesnt react to anything coming at her.. Is there anything I can do? I feed rods, nls pellets, every frozen cube they have and nori. My qt tank is still set up if it is needed. Thanks for the help

Are you sure she is blind? I have seen several eyeless fish and they did not behave any different then a normal fish.

You've got to tell us your complete list of water parameters for us to be able to start to help you: use numbers, as in my list in my sig. When it's something mysterious like this, we need to know first if it's the water before we start supposing (the other possibility) bacteria.

The only things I check regularly is kh-10 ph stays between 8.1 & 8.3, sg is 1.025, nitrates are 5ish, and nitrite and amonia are always 0. Temp is 78. I'v had her for six years and plan on hopefully 6 more.

And she didn't say she was blind, but over the last few monthse her eyes look like they are hazy white. She doesnt react to my hand anymore,.and stays in pretty much a 1sq foot area. She used to zip in and ouy of the rocks all day.
also she has always looked very plump, and I soak food in eithet selcon or vitechem

What, if any, fish was recently introduced? If so, how long ago?

I added a purple tang about a month ago, but he came from a friend that had him about a year. Othetr than that I dont buy things often. My tank has been on cruise control for the last two years.

Tank mates are foxface, sailfin tang, purple tang, picasso trigger, coris wrasse, and porc puffer..

I can get her out pretty easy if its a bacteria or fungus. She doesnt run from a bowl.
