Clownfish with bulging eyes!

[Fairytail]

Upon feeding this morning, one of the clownfish appears to have both eyes bulging/protroding from her head. They are VERY distended both at an equal protrusion.

Any suggustions what this may be and how to treat it??? We'v not added any new fish in several months.

Don't have a pic, digital camera is busted sorry.

The fish IS eating, and is swimming in the gonapora as useral, the other clownfish will not get near it. Its not AS lively as she userally is tho.

Many eye problems are the result of bacterial issues ... the minor ones tend to go away if you maintain water quality and allow the fish's immune system to fight off the infection. In severe cases the use of an antibiotic often effective ... a double dose (twice the mfg. recommendation) of Maracyn 2 used in a QT might be in order.
