Goby Dead, Clown Has Popeye
Okay so I thought I should probably add this in here.
A couple of nights ago my coral goby died. I thought there was a parasite in his gills (they were black) so I put him in freshwater for around 5 minutes. Unfortunately he died shortly after I put him back in the display tank. When I took him out I applied slight pressure to his gill and a whole bunch of black egg looking things came out.
This morning when I woke up I noticed my clowns eyes were popping out! It was not just one eye which would apparently indicate some sort of trauma to it but both, which apparently indicates that it is an infection. I rang around and no stores stock antibiotics.
So I did the next best thing. I had some antibiotics left over from when I was sick. I added 1/4 of a pill to the QT along with 1 tablespoon of magnesium sulfate. He is not eating. He is still sticking to the corner of the tank but is not having difficulty breathing. Salinity is at 1020.
