Question Need some help with my Sailfin

Hi All,
I hav'nt posted in a while but I have been reading and lurking about I have a Sailfin Tang in a 110 galon tank.I have had him about 8 months or so maybe longer I can't remember.His tank mates include a Blue Hippo,Tomato Clown a 6-line wrasse and a Lawnmower Benny. Tanks parms as of this AM:
Temp- 80
Salinity-35ppt
PH-8.1
Alk-9.9dkh
Calcium-480
Ammonia-0
Nitrate-0
Phosphate-0
These have been very stable now for the last 6 or 7 months.About the only swings I get are in Calcium and Alk and those are'nt very much.
All the fish get along pretty well expect for the 2 tangs will fight over food once in a while.The Sailfin as always been the supreme ruler But I would'nt call it much of a fight they just like to cut each other off when swimming towards the food.
Well anyway the Sailfin has a Cloudy eye only one and I could'nt find him this am.No other signs of disease suck as ick.I know sometimes these 2 go hand in hand together.He has been staying behind some rock and will not come out so I took some of the rock down and forced him to come out and found his eye all cloudy.I was trying to see if maybe he had scratched it on something as this was a overnight deal,he was fine when I turned off the lights last night.Ofcourse he would not stay out long enough for me to get a real good look at his eye so I am not sure if it is a injury or something else.All other fish have no signs of anything being wrong with them.
Can someone offer some suggestions to help him heal?
Thank You,
David

If you have the ability you should move him to a quartine tank just so if it is a paracite your other fish might have a better chance not to catch it. Then watch him for signs of injury or disease.
