Should I just leave it? Or what should I treat it with?popeye
Does prazipro affect inverts or corals?We use to call this Pop eye. I believe prazi pro is an accepted treatment.
It is reef safe in my experience but will wipe out things like feather dustersDoes prazipro affect inverts or corals?
Hmm what about inverts like urchins snails and shrimp?It is reef safe in my experience but will wipe out things like feather dusters
Inverts should be fine. It's not terribly uncommon for popeye to clear up on it's own thru good diet. It can sometimes be caused by lesions, but generally is just a bacterial infection of the eye. I personally always try to take the natural approach vs medicine at first.Hmm what about inverts like urchins snails and shrimp?
Could maybe being stung by zoas be a cause? Yesterday at night one of my anthias was staying on top of my zoa... the anthias that got affected is the one that only eats mysisInverts should be fine.

I am not sure to be honest. Soaking the mysis in fish vitamins (seachem vitality) would be the best bet, Prazipro isn't a for sure treatment, it has just worked for me in the past. This could have also just been the fish fighting the infection on its own.Could maybe being stung by zoas be a cause?

Ok I'll do that. I have searched vitality so I will try it. Hope it turns out goodI am not sure to be honest.

It may get worse before it gets better, but dont panic, the fish can handle some bit of it. I have definitely seen much worse cases. If it is only affecting one eye that is a good sign, likely a lesion of some sort that caused it if it only affects one eye, in my opinion.Ok I'll do that. I have searched vitality so I will try it.
