Ohh that does look bad.. It is very easy to scratch their eye with a net or they may even on the rocks. One of my anthias had an eye like that and it healed on its own. See if it will heal on its own . How long has it been like that?

Awe, poor little baby. Appears to by bacterial. Keep the water pristinely clean, do a 20% WC and observe. If the fish stops eating or becomes listless move it to a QT tank for treatment. Feed it highly nutritious foods high in protein. Soak its food in Selcon or a vitamin suppliment like ZOE. As long as it is eating I would leave it alone and let it heal on its own.
