HELP - Something wrong with Clowns eye! -PICS

Hey everyone, need some expert advice ASAP

Ever seen that movie quasimoto(sp?) Well, yeah, thats what my fish looks like right now.. one of his eyes is SWOLLEN looks like its about to explode out of his head.. My gf and I saw some fish at the fish store that had this yesterday and we though it was pretty gross... Well it was fine when we woke up, and now its all crazy looking.. All params look fine btw. He is still swimming around.. I fed him some pellets and he ate them all..

Things I added yesterday after a frag swap
-zoos
-2 kenya trees
-pulsing xenia
-Large Bubble Tip Anemone (lfs)
-3 rubble rocks from lfs to mount frags
-5 tiny brittle stars

I also have a cyano breakout at the moment that I bought chemiclean red slime remover, but have not put any in the tank.

PICS arent the best, but its the best I could get:
See the similarity?

 

is it just the one ? it could be pop eye no pun intended first off I get me some mardels maraycin and have it on hand all the time and watch it for a few days its its just an injury it should look better in a day or so as the swelling goes down. But if it gets really cloudy white and the other even starts to puff up and or gets hazy looking treat the tank..If you really like the fish you may want to start a 1/2 does treatment starting asap..

 

yeah its just one eye.
is this stuff reef safe ? do I just add it to the tank? I am headed to the LFS right now, hope I find it!!
Thanks

 

Maracyn II is definately NOT reef safe. Maracyn can be fine if used at low dosages. However, a lot of it depends on type of tank, filtration, ect. Do you have a quarantine tank?

 

Penicillin works well and so does furan. If you decide to treat, place it in a 10g tank. I just went through a severe bout with this with my flag fin angel. I treated it with both furan and penicillin together because it was so severe with fin rot and hemorrhagic abdomen and mouth. Its cloud eye or pop eye. Its usually caused by trauma with a secondary infection but it can be a primary infection. FW dips help.

 

I do agree that it looks like pop eye. My angel had it for a while. It eventually went away in a few days without any other tank inhabitants catching it. So I can't say if it is contagious or not.

 

well the DB sold me the stuff for Freshwater so I cant do anyhting. I will be looking for a qt tanks asap! I hope it can go away without intervention
thanks

 

What stuff for F/W ?

 

mardels maracyn for freshwater.. Only reason I knew is because I saw the saltwater one with a different picture on it at petco plus they were cheaper haha

 

What happened? Hopefully it was an injury. I had good luck dosing epson salts directly into the display. It draws the fluid out in about a week. Possibly saved his eye.
