cloudy eyes on maroon clown


Hello all,

I have a pair of maroon clown and one of them has cloudy eyes. I checked the water parameters and it seemed to be fine. What's wrong with my fish and what can i treat it with? I have a hospital tank ready.
I believe my tank has ich problem as the flame angel has some white stuff on its body. People said UV will help get rid of ich; i ordered that early Monday...should be receiving it this Friday.

Sounds like flukes. A FW dip will help with those. Do you have a pic?

I would say you have something in the water disease wise general clean up and good water changes and uv sterilizer and garlic soaked food and stable temp and enviroment would help.

Sorry i don't have any picture at the moment. Even though if i take a few pictures, you won't be able to notice the cloudy eyes.
I'm very new to saltwater. What's FW? I'm thinking FW=Freshwater .

Will garlic kill my coral (i have only 1 coral right now)? I'll do w/c tomorrow. Hopefully when i hook up my UV this weekend, it will help to get rid of whatever bacteria in the tank.

No garlic soaked food is great for fish.

put the fish in your Hospital tank and treat there.But you can do the garlic in the reef tank and it won't hurt anything.And the UV won't guarantee no brake oput of ick but lessen the chance if you got one big enough.
