Hello all. I was helping out at the LFS today cleaning tanks. One of the tanks had 1 iridescent shark in it. It had this white coating over his eyes. It didn't just coat the eye tho, there was so much of it that parts of it were hanging off and moving with the water flow. There was nothing else on the body.
It was pitiful. When I asked the owner what it was, she said she didn't know, had never seen it before and was treating it with melafix.
Any ideas on what it could be? I can't quit thinking about that poor fish.

BTW- It actually looks like cotton mouth/Chondrococcus columnaris but it's on the eyes only.
