Can anyone advise of what might cause my Saddleback Clown to have a clouded eye. I noticed it yesterday, and it seems to have progressed today. The eye doesn't appear to be bulging out, but he doesn't really turn that side of his body to me, so that I can get a good look at it.

He is located in a 24 aquapod. Usually feed him a wide variety of flake, pellet, frozen mysis, bloodworms, along with homemade fish food. The tank is also inhabited by a yellow and a green clown goby and a scooter blenny. Should I treat with antibiotics? If so should I move him to qt or can i treat the whole 24 aquapod with antibiotics, such as maracyn?

Just treat the affected fish in quarantine. He probably injured the eye and contracted a bacterial infection. I like Furan2 my self.
