    If you're worried, you could try treating him with an antibacterial such as melafix. I've done this before when my yellow tailed damsel had pop eye. I added a few drops to the food and in a few days, his eye cleared up. I don't think it could hurt and you can see if his eyes go back to their old color.

    Thanks to everyone for the help. The blue in his eyes is still there and there really is no cloudiness in the eyes. It doesn't seem to affect him at all. I'll still keep an eye on it for odd behavior or if it worsens but I think he'll be ok
