Dosing antibiotics in display tank

[MaMe]

We moved early last week and had to move our tank. During the move, our 6 line wrasse jumped ship and landed on the floor. We got it in a bag fast and, since our new place didn’t have a quarantine tank set up, we put it in the display with all the other fish. By the next day, it perked up, was swimming and eating like normal. Last night (over a week later) I noticed it’s eyes were bulging. Looks like pics of pop eye that I have seen. It’s both eyes but I don’t notice any cloudiness. It is still swimming but is staying hidden in a cave in our live rock. It wouldn’t come out and eat this morning. I read the treatment is antibiotics, but I am not going to be able to get the wrasse in a hospital tank. It is deep in a cave.

Can I treat the entire display tank? I have coral (mostly soft), a shrimp and a crab and a bunch of snails that I don’t know how they’d react. Also would it be safe for my other fish?

Not familiar with that illness. Some treatments allow DT and some dont. Hopefully you get someone more experienced than i shortly

The antibiotics that are effective for treatment needed would not be reef safe.

Thanks. I guess I will just have to keep the water clean and hope the wrasse gets better on it’s own.
