Attached couple of pictures of our small Blue Chromis. Apologies for the poor quality.
It seems to have a bubble over the left eye, just wondering if this is serious or if it will go away on its own.

Looks like a result of mechanical injury while at times it will subside on its own, I often recommend placing in quarantine and treating with maracyn for at least 5 days to prevent any damage to retina and to assure chance of infection is reduced.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

While that is likely due to mechanical damage, overall, the fish looks “off”; mottled dull color that is common to this species when they are stressed or diseased.

How long have you had this fish?
What size is it (looks small to me)
What other fish are in with it?
Is it eating ok?
