Update!
Ok. The eye progressed and got bigger and bigger. It then stopped getting larger. At that point, the other eye began to swell. This was 3 days ago. I also began treating with Melafix on the same day the other eye began to swell. The original eye's swelling began to go down. Today, the second eye reached peak swelling at about noon. I just got home only to find that eye completely missing! What happened?!?!?!? What should I do?!?!? Thanks for all the help!

Is the fish in the QT? If not then acclimate him in and begin the Maracyn 2 treatment. His eye may not be gone.

My QT is not available since it currently has some small occupants. I have just added some Epsom Salt at a rate of 1tsp. for 5g of SW based on some advice I got. The eye is definitely gone. All that is left is the socket. Thanks for the help!

Epsom only helps with the swelling. It is good if this were just an injury. He has an infection that has spread from one eye to the other. He will need treatment.

Will Maracyn 2 kill marine invertabrates?
If it doesn't, then I will treat him in the DT. Thanks!

Yes, it will. You cannot use that in the display. Do you have another tank that you can set up? You can try to continue with the Melafix and dosing the food with vitamins, but it sounds like he is beyond mild treatment. What is in the QT?

The only other tank that I could possibly set-up is a 30 long. I would just do a 30g water change on the 125. Would that be suitable?
In the QT I currently have a crab, a small Sailfin Tang, and some coral. Thank you for all the help!

Is all of what is in the QT gong into the display? How long until they are ready to leave?
The 30L would not be cycled just by using water from the display. Bacteria colonizes on surfaces, not in the water column.

All of what is in the QT will be going into my reef tank. They have around 3-4 weeks left before being transfererred out.
Ok. Thanks. I wasn't sure of that. So if I was to do a water change on the 125, take some sand and some live rock, I should be good? Also, he made it through the night. His eye socket looks better and his other eye's swelling has gone down. You have been a great help! Thanks!
