cloudy eye?

I came home from work today and discovered my flame angel has a cloudy eye. He has been eating like normal and doesn't look in bad condition except for the eye. What could be causing this? Is it ich? Please help.

The only other fish in my tank are 2 banggai cardinals. I dont think they are fighting and they dont seem agressive to each other.

Most likely a scratched eye. It happens often with fish. Check the other eye and if it remains clear you probably should let it heal on its own.

Just keep a watch out that the other eye stays clear. If not, use an antibiotic in a hospital tank.
