      Look up Popeye. It’s a bacterial infection that leads to fluid accumulation in the eye. You need to take him out and treat the infection for best prognosis.

      +1 for pop eye. Here is a short excerpt from Paul Baldassano’s Book “The Avant-Garde Marine Aquarist”... he goes into detail including the procedure he has performed. (It’s a unique read)

      “This condition is really due to a flaw in the way a fish’s skull is made. The bone behind the eye is a sealed chamber with just a small hole for the optic nerve and no place for excess pressure to escape. For some reason bacteria sometimes gets back there and produces fluid or pus, and there is no blood flow there, so it just builds up and pushes the eye out. Also, some types of bacteria produce gas, which has the same outcome. Another cause may be fluid leaking from the tissues there. But whatever the cause, it usually, but not always, goes away on its own.”
