SaddleBack Clown Eyes Bulging Out

[thysrof]

One of my two Saddleback Clowns eyes are bulging or popping out. The other one seems just fine. What's happening?

Thanks

without a detailed info and a pic it's hard to tell but with the info given sounds like a popeye.

It is very common in A. Polymnus clowns. It is probably a case of popeye but it could just be trauma. Give it a while and see if it heals up on its own. Keep the water quality excellent, feed it an excellent diet (frozen cyclopeeze is great for clowns).

This condition is rarely fatal to clowns so don't do anything drastic. If it persists go ahead and set up a quarantine tank and give it Saltwater Maracyn 2. It should take care of it. I have also used Chloramphenicol with some success but it is a lot easier to overdose.

Good luck!
