I just bought a strip of LED multicolor lights. The instructions state not to look directly at the LEDs because it maybe harmful to your vision. I'm just wondering if it will harm the eyes of the fish? If so would some type of difusser cover help?

Thanks
 
Your aquarium fish likely started their life in open air lagoons at fish farms located in Asia and Florida. Full sun exposure. If the sun's UV' s don't damage the fishes eyes, your Led lights won't either.
Unless you have a planted tank, your fish will likely show their best colors and act more naturally under subdued lighting.
