Lionfish has a cloudy eye

[nivram]

My Fumanchu has one cloudy eye. From the searching I did online, I though it might have been flukes and dosed Prazipro. It's only been a day. But i'm thinking its not flukes. I've noticed no change. I would love some suggestions for treatment. I have some corals and inverts in this tank, so i'd prefer not to use copper. I am also willing to move him into a 5 gal tank if needed.

Not the best pics, but you should give you and idea.

It looks more like a bacterial infection than flukes to me. When flukes are the cause of a cloudy eye, usually only a portion of the eye is cloudy, the part covered by the fluke/flukes.

Hey I started to use melafix a couple of days ago it seems to be working it is made by api and is reef safe/no copper. I think this is your best bet I have asked in four different forums and got no answer so I went to LFS got no help there eitther so I started reading bottles this one says for cloudy eye. reviews on net seem to be good too I hope this helps
