Please help if you can. I havent seen this in a marine fish and am not sure if it and injury or infection. It does look like the start of what i have seen in fresh. Cant get a pic yet but im activlely reading and trying to photo as well. Found this less than 30 minutes ago, he wasnt like that when i fed this AM :debi:
 
Added i fo :
Fish was added with a group of fish that all came from a very reputable member of a local club that was shutting down his tank. He quarantines, i did not. I dont need advise on how why i should quaritine but where to find information on this type of injury/infection in marine fish. Honestly, Im thinking he probably got his eye poked out while sqabbling with my rabbitfish as they both a fat pigs and argue over who will get the last bit of nori everytime. This is my 2nd odonus, the first one wouldnt touch nori, but this one eats the brown sheets like its loaded with crack!
 
If its still eating, I would just monitor and keep the water conditions topnotch and hopefully it should heal by itself. If not you might have to pull it out and treat with antibiotics. but give it a few days and monitor first.
