I just got five female Lyretail Anthias (one male earlier) and noticed that one has an eye problem. Any ideas if this might be dangerous? As in infectious? Thanks!

Looks like a superficial eye injury but I also see evidence of nipping on the tail. For the eye, best treatment would be erythromyacin > Maracyn as pictured and for nipping, what other occupants are in the tank with it?

Please add a video under white light intensity so the rest of the fish can be viewed.
