Red Turk has injured his eye

[Sea Hag]

Here are this morning's pics. The frontal view is a bit blurry but am posting it anyway as I'm hoping you'll be able to see the symmetry the eyes now have. At one point during the healing process of this injury his eye looked like a marble that had popped out from his eye socket.
He's eating very well and I can't say I've seen a change in the eye in seven days so am wondering if he can be returned to the display? I watched a bloodworm drift down between him and the side of the tank wall (his bad eye was facing the tank wall) and he turned to eat the worm. I'm sure his vision isn't crystal but it seems like he is seeing some movement, at least. Is there a surefire way to perform a vision test on a fish?? Show him a picture of a shark and see if he bolts??

I'd say its fine but you'll have to watch him in the event he gets bullied or doesn't get to eat.

Ok, sounds good. I'm not worried about him not getting enough to eat, as I target feed when needed. Not having any experience in the bully department what do I do if he starts getting bullied?? Remove him back to QT?
Does reintroducing him in the early evening after the tank lights are off (but while the ambient room light is still on) the best time to do this?? His tankmates will have been well fed and getting settled in for nighty night, but maybe this would be more stressful for him?

Don't forget he is not the only male in the tank.

No, there is another male in the tank, my big fat promiscuous male BD, lol. He's the one who is STILL two timing between two females, a RT and a Cobalt. It was a problem but now they are happily "sharing" him. Weird.

[Jennie]

yes but two timer may not want to share his ladies with the turk. Might want to bully him

[Sea Hag]

Yikes, you're right. Men are funny that way.

[Jennie]

well, you may have to give him his own tank and his own lady
