OK so for the last few weeks we have noticed that frank my RTC has been swimming and acting kinda funny then this morning i woke up to find his eyes are completely clouded over and his slime coat is peeling is there anything we can do for him.
 
Do you have a YouTube? I know a RTC named frank ...

Sorry, did you check your water? Maybe do a big water change.
 
When one has no guesses at all, one should start with water tests: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, and temp. If all are fine and large everyday water changes are not having an effect, then a fish check-up and possibly medicating can be considered. Certainly, no food while it is sick.

+1. It would be easier to help if we knew your water parameters so we can rule some things out. What have you done to treat so far?
 
This is a beautiful RTC too :(( so sad! This is actually one that got me even more excited about keeping one
