As the title states, my young male occellaris' right eye is massively bulged. Last night everything was completely fine; this morning, not so much.
His environment: 14gal reef as per my build thread below. Tankmates include a large female Wyoming White occellaris, and a green chromis. The Wyoming White is very aggressive to me, but never to her younger companion. He and the chromis occasionally spat, but nothing severe and there is never physical contact.
There are three anemones in the system: one maxi-mini, and two BTAs. The female clown hosts the BTA; the younger male never touches them. I've had both the chromis and young male clown for roughly two months with no issues; I've had the female clown for two years.
I feed my tank twice a day with LRS Reef Frenzy Nano; I fed this morning to see if he would eat. His appetite is suppressed, as he was much less aggressive and more selective in feeding. However, he did eat small morsels. Again, this all happened overnight.
Any suggestions as to what this is and how I can fix it? I'm a college student and this reef is in my dorm, so a quarantine tank is an absolute last-resort that I would really rather not take.
