Powder blue eye prob.

[Lucky-rc]

I have a powder blue tang.
He has a scratch (I think) on his pupil. It is razor thin and about half as long as his pupil is wide. I think it may have been a netting scratch? His eye is crystal clear and he is in excellent health and color. I would love to post a pic but this guy is a rocket and the scratch is "almost microscopic". Should I be worried?
My tank has perfect water conditions, U/V, serious skimming and filtration. No bullies.
I have heard of flukes? Not sure what they look like? This scratch does not move or change. Therefore I don't believe its "alive"
I would like any input. If you could post a fluke on an eye I'd like you forever...
Also if it is a fluke how would I fix this w/o removing him from the reef?
If it is a scratch, how long till they heel? and what med. would he need if any?
If any other info is needed please ask.
I know this is kinda tough w/o the pic, for this I am sorry

Personally, I'd leave him alone to heal, as long as you're not seeing signs of infection. Reef fish are amazingly tough, and often all they need to recover from an injury is good water quality, nutritious food and a little time.
