What are your test results showing?
If it is on one eye, chance are she bumped herself on something. If it is on both, move her to a QT. What is everything you have in the tank with them? Tim |

I can't tell from the picture. Is it a bubble behind the eye or is it popeye where the entire eye is involved.

its not popeye. behind the eye.
i dont have any meds in hand. tankmates include mysis shrimp (dsh eat them surpsingly well) sexy shrimp, buncha snails, and theres a hitchiken oyster/clam. its on one eye, ill just leave it be for now because the seahorse isnt showing any discomfort. |

all water params are zero, i am working on transferring the seahorses to a new tank because the current tank is kinda messy and i think sexy shrimps kind of bother them.
i have a bunch of coraline on the acrylic which i cannot get off and i saw some hydroids, which is why i am moving it. |
