If the eye was normal before, then this is likely a physical injury. Plecos are very spiky all around, similar to a hedgehog. It could have done that if the RTC decided to check it out as a food item (say a lucky tail swipe over the RTCs eye)... it is less likely but possible even if the RTC didn't do anything to the pleco.
