One of my clown knives has a piece of rock/gravel lodged between his eye and the socket. Is there anything I can do or do I just have to hope that he is able to work it out? Thanks in advance.
 
I hope it comes out by itself..wow that is tricky when it comes to eyes.. my pacu lodged stones in his nostril and thankfully it fell out on its own eventually..never heard of this issue before but wish you the best of luck that it falls out.
 
I would take the fish out and pop it out with tweazers..

Do a half dose of Mela/Pima as a preventative, and QT afterwards..
 
How long has it been there?

If you trust the steadyness of your hands,i'd say go for this method also.If the gap between eyelid and eye is too small then try getting under it with a toothpick.Altogether you should definatley interveine.
