I red on WWM that it will be ok for coral at small concentration..not sure if 1 tbs per 10 gallons is considered a "small concentration" though.

I just found a treatment of 1 tbs per 5 gallons is fine in a reef tank, so at 1 tbs per 10 gallons your corals should be fine.

How long did it take in your case to improve?

I am feeding him with food soaked in kanamycine as well. He eats everything no question asked.

If it's a scratched eye it should heal pretty quickly; it did for me. 2 to 3 days. If it was caused by poor water conditions at the time of purchase it may take a little longer. Just guessing here though.

I don't know, maybe it was poor water condition from where he comes from. I am not going to buy any more fish from that LFS because they always have something. I have a blue tang in quarantine in the other tank in hyposalinity because he had ich, and it was exchanged as the first one also had ich and refused to eat. So it's the third fish I buy from that place and all of them had something wrong.

I am not sure it's going to resolve because he seemed to have something a bit whitish and reflective inside the eye before he started the pop eye, but we'll see with time. I will keep feeding him twice a day with bloodworms soaked in kanamycin and epsom salt is in the tank.

Default update

After nearly 3 weeks in Paraguard the eye have cleared and I don't see the white thing inside anylonger. The pop eye has receided quite a bit but there is still some swelling as I can see one eye is larger than the other still.

I was hoping that I can put the fish in my display tank this weekend as I don't think I can do much more for this eye that what I have done already. Will this eye eventualy return to 100% normal? should I continue the paraguard treatment until it is 100% normal? Should I just put the fish in the display tank and let it finish healing there? I am not sure what to do at this point?

The fish is still small and I am pretty sure as it will grow up the eye will return to normal size has its body will grow, but not sure realley what to do for right now?

Just be patient, keep the water quality up, and keep the stress level low. I have an Orange Shoulder Tang that had pop eye when I got him (I felt bad for the poor little guy). It's been a couple of months and it's almost gone, no treatment of any kind, just a healthy environment.

If you do introduce the trigger to your display tank, you will no longer have the option of feeding food soaked in antibiotics. Since you the majority of the infection has already been taken care of, a diet of frozen and prepared foods soaked in garlic extract and a vitamin supplement such as selcon will surely help the fish recover as well.
