That's because there's no label on that volume.  Give it the type with 
'-t':  fsck -t ufs /dev/md0c.eli

Note that this has nothing to do with geli per se; fsck behaves this way 
with any unlabeled volume.

You might want to run in preen mode instead of answering "yes" or using 
'-y'.  This will safely fix all non-critical errors automatically:
fsck -t ufs -fp /dev/md0c.eli
