reefgeek84 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 My moorish idol just developed a puffy eye, I know this is a diease of some sort...Is it cureable in a reef tank? There is no way to catch him and I do not want to tear apart my tank to catch him...Any help would be awesome thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think you would need to catch him and treat with antibiotics (not totally sure on that, but do a search on google). If you can't get him out, your only choice would be to feed well (maybe with garlic, for the immune system) and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Sounds like a case of "Pop Eye" (Exophthalmia) Keep up with those water changes. Cleanliness is very important! For treating your Moorish Idol in your display tank, feed nothing to but medication-soaked foods. Best of luck. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/popeyefaqs.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
