Clownfish Eye injury

[fishman]

My brand new Cinnonmon Clown seems to have an eye injury. I just let the pair go in my display tank yesterday and they looked completely clean. I woke up this morning and the male has a small white protrusion on his eye. No Clouding just one small whitish dot. Should I do something right away or just watch to see if it gets worse? I saw no eye trauma over the last 2 days and I inspected them several times before transferring them to my display tank. Any ideas of what this might be. I say it's an injury but that is a huge guess.

fishman, were the clowns in quarantine prior to entering your display tank?

 

[fishman]

yes, but only for about 2 days. They ate and had no injuries. They where captively propagated.

Good News, He looks way better today. I was worried. My BTA looks very happy too. The female dove in within 8 hours of being released.

If you used a net then you probably injured the fish's eye. The swelling can go down in a couple of days.
