I have did some reading on this and one other thing it is caused by is an increase in temperature. My avg temp is 77 and 2 days ago it was about 82. I was reading someone's log and it does appear when there is sharp spikes in temp change. I noticed his eyes are not as cloudy today as they were, and I did a water change yesterday. I do a change every week of 10%. But I might miss the odd week, so it is never more than 2 weeks before a water change, and that happens maybe once a month if that happens. Yes it is in both eyes. Prior to a week ago, I killed off my flatworms and lost one 6 line, 4 shrimp over the 3 days. But as of yesterday everythng is looking outstanding. All of the corals are looking good. I did tests on nitrites, nitrates, amonia. the hardest thing is to catch him to put him in a QT. I do notice that I do have little microbubbles every once in a while in the tank, but I got rid of the majority of them when I put a pvc tube from my skimmer with a very course sponge so it catches all of the bubbles and gets rid of them. I am just using sea clone skimmer. Other than that I just get a little bubble when I am feeding that gets into the power heads.

The micro bubbles are fine and won't affect your fish. Just swim near an exposed reef and you will see tons of them with no adverse affects to the marine enviroment.
It's a build up of CO that will cause a problem but if you have good water movement and a skimmer then that won't be a problem. I'm thinking he was affected by the flatworm treatment. Keep changing the water and hopefuly he will fully reciver.
