Hi all,I need some help quick for my goby.I noticed last night that he has a white worm(?) on his eye.I've never had a goby or have never seen a worm(?) before.How do I get my buddy help to fix(remove or kill) this worm thing.He has another goby in the tank and I don't want this thing to get on the other goby.Thanks for any help you can give.

Well,strange as it might seem,I don't see the worm today.The goby was in hiding most of the day but when it was feeding time he (she?) was out and I got good looks at him from all angles. The eye has a small bulge on the cornea where the worm was but nothing white there.I'm not sure what happened but any worm is gone.I'm just in a wait and see mode for now,as I don't have any medication or don't know what to treat. Can anyone tell me what I might get to treat with for any future problem.
