Maroon clown has white film on eyes?

[Billan]

I just noticed today that my maroon clown has a white film on both of his eyes. I don't know why this happened since my water is fine: sal=1.023 nitrate=>10 nitrite=0 amm=0 ph=8.3 temp=79. The only thing that I have added 2 weeks ago is a feather duster. My tank is a reef with many inverts, so is the any advice on how to treat or if I should treat at all? Any ideas what caused this?

Mine used to do that sometimes, it was usually a conciquence of SG fluctuation. Once i had the SG stabalised for a couple of days it would clear.

Make a large water change. How long have you had the clown? Any other symptoms, scratching? It could be brooklynella, secondary to a parasitic infection like gill flukes, or simply a bacterial infection. Probably have to treat in Qtank.

Try this website... It will ask you some questions and usually leads you to the disease your fish has..
THis is better done by you since you know the answer better..
Like if the fish is eating, if the fins look normal etc... Try it, it is rather easy to follow the steps..

I have had the clown for 2 months and has been fine. The clown is not rubbing on rocks or anything else. Appears to be acting normal but maybe eating a little less than normal. It could be caused by SG like you said because my tank evaporates around 3/4 of a gallon a day. I recently started a new job with long hours so I can not top my tank off until late in the evening. Should I just wait and see if it goes away?
Thanks
