i was just feeding my fish, i noticed my tang has a puffy eye. with cloudiness in the middle of the eye. tang is still very active and eating like a piggy. all day i haven't noticed it. ugh my favorite fish.

everything im reading says its dirty water. but i've done water changes every 3 weeks and i do 15 gallons of water change. none of my other fish are having issues or any of corals. i think i know what happened. my yellow tang has been trying to hit it with it's tail.

If he seems ok otherwise, I would just try and fortify his food for now. I would try seaweed soaked in vitamin c and garlic. I would just monitor and see if it seems to progress. Hopefully someone else who has had a similar experience will chime in.

 

Good luck and keep us informed of any updates

It sounds like eye trauma to me. It can be from a scratch, or a sting from a coral or anemone. Feeding it well and soaking food in a liquid vitamin like Selcon, an antibiotic like SeaChem's KanaPlex, and garlic juice for taste will help. If it is a minor eye trauma it will clear up in a week or two.

I just went through the same issue not long ago. It went away on its own in about two weeks I believe.
