Anthia with one Big Eye....HELP!!

[sherrerb]

So i came home from having a few beers with some friends to find one of my new Anthias with one big eye. I would post a picture, but the little ***** won't come out long enough for me to get a good picture. Basically it looks like his eye is popping out. still eats, and is active in my aquascaping (swims from tunnel to tunnel). any help with this or suggestions? I will try to get a picture in the morning when the lights come on, till then, any advice is welcome!

He's got popeye. Just keep feeding and make sure it didn't happen from another fish biting his eye. He may lose the eye, he may not. Either way it's servivable.

Ya, if its eating fine then it should recover. I have had two fish, pink skunk clown and a lamark angel, get popeye and they both recovered fine without losing the eye. I did use melafix with the lamark though and I know that it is safe with xenia but not sure about any other coral, I think it is supposed to be reef safe but not 100% sure.
