Injured BD

My male BD been acting weird this week. Hanging on his side behind a piece of wood. Thought he maybe knackered from chasing the females around for the last few weeks. But I just noticed his eye today. It is red over the pupil. Eye is intact but the front of it is all red. Hard to get a shot of it at the moment. Going to up temp and make sure water good. Hope to god he is okay. Around 16" disc.

I'm freaking out now. he deffo not himself. The eye don't look good and he just wants to lay behind this bit of wood up against the back of the tank. The girls are hanging around him wondering what the problem is. Water perams are all good. Its weird. I lost my biggest tinfoil on Thursday and thinking about it this is when the ray started acting weird. I'm pretty sure he has eaten a small 2" dat this week as well. I caught him cloaking it a few days ago and got him off, but the dat gone now. The tinfoil was 9" big and can't work out why it went. Got 8 others that are fine and 6 other bigger dates that are fine. Also the other 4 rays are fine also.

Yes he eating ok. I separated him for now.

Any wound marks? Maybe he damaged his eye chasing the girls around and banged into the wood or one of the females injured him fighting back. Is he eating?
