We have a 15G nano with two small occelaris. Tank has been set up a year and a half. The male has a popped eye and I am not sure how to treat. We don't even add new corals as we don't have a qt tank and don't want the fish catching anything.
It has 17ish pounds of live rock and two hydor nanos. We do 25% changes each week with store bought culligan water and IO salt. Salt is kept at 1.24 and temp is 77.
My husband got a little overzealous blowing sand off the rocks two nights ago - Long story but this isn't a normal thing. I was upset when I saw what he had done. I could tell the fish were irritated and that night one of them was flashing in the sand a couple times. It took a while for the sand to clear - we put some filter floss in the AC110 that we use for extra water volume/flow.
Since it is only one eye that is swollen - I assume it is an injury. But combined with the tank disruption I worry it could be something else.
Do I feed an antibacterial food of some sort or just hope with time and happy water that it will recover?
Thanks to everyone who reads and replies.

The chocolate is a good idea too. Might prevent me from kicking my husband in the a%% for being such a dolt.
