Can I treat tang with bubbles in eye in DT?

[schuby]

My powder blue has tiny bubbles in one eye. Same eye is bulging out. Is there a way that I can treat him in DT? I have multiple Acropora SPS.

can you pull the fish and put him into QT you can treat him with api em erythromycin its good for eye injuries

Exothamia, gas bubble disease, supersaturation.
I would recommend pulling to QT. Seeing if you have microbubbles or other other supersaturation in Display tank.
Sometimes they resolve on own/reabsorb, but sometimes you have to treat with medication

What fish trap works well for a 5" tang? Some I've seen look pretty flimsy.

Does anyone have an update on this issue? My powder blue has the exact same problem and looks the exact same as this picture. He’s been this way for a couple months now but still eats nori like a champ until today where he’s being more lethargic. Any help would be great.

This is either gas embolism or possible flukes with gas bubbe being my suspect . The bubble also may be due to injury or scratch injury and best treated with maracyn for at least 5 days and best in a separate treatment tank

Ok awesome! I’ll catch him and try to treat with this. If this doesn’t work, what do you think about the trifecta?

This is excellent with eye issues

Can you post a video? Not all eye problems have the same cause.....
