i have 2 Lyretail female anthias that have progressively got worse over the last week. they started out looking and eating great. now they have stopped eating and begin to have a white film over their eyes and large white spots on thier side and fin/tail rot. one is active still and the other sits in the corner. i just recently dosed "seachem karaplex" in the tank yesterday and i have already noticed that the bigger female eye has shrank and is getting clearer but still has the spots. both their colors are poor. i have them both in QT
sorry the pictures arent the best

if anyone has any suggestions please help

thanks

I think that what you are doing is good. It looks like a bacterial infection to me and you are treating with antibiotics. It is a good sign that the eye is shrinking. Frequent water changes, making sure to dose the new water while medicating, may help too. Definitely feed often if they are eating.
