    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The most likely cause is mechanical injury, only one is affected. Could have been spat, rock injury....Try some Melafix, if the eye starts to bulge or both eye become affected then you'll probably have to remove and treat.

    The females eye seems to be improving.

    I have reason to believe it was hit by my very large black long spined urchin. Yesterday I witnessed my clowns slap at it a couple times when feeding. Is this a possiblity???
