I feed every other day Pellets in the morning, Mysis in the evening (Occasionally brine). Nori every 4 days. Stray pieces of chaeto find their way to the Display but the Blue Tang or Royal Gamma eat those.

The Blue Tang looked like this when I got home...please give me some advice!

Best I can tell, it appears the eye is swollen. If that's the case, then it looks like "popeye." Could be bacterial but also could result of having an abundance of tiny bubbles in your tank.

The only bubbles in my tank are in the sand bed and the underside of my live rock. The powerheads do not shoot out bubbles and there is no protein skimmer. I hava kanaplex, but will my corals be safe if I put it directly into the display?

If your's is like mine, Regal's like to hide under rocks.

I wonder if your's scraped his eye on a rock?

I think it did...looks better but not quite normal yet.
