what is this and can it correct itself? can it possibly affect my other fish? everyone else looks great. would be hard to get him where he is holed up. i also don't have another tank to perform treatments in.

thanks.

Brett, Grammas hang out in the rockwork a lot. It may have scratched the eyeball a little. You can add a little Epsom salt to the tank or better yet QT the fish and give it a good epsom salt bath. Google epsom salts for fish maladies.
