Hello everyone this is my first post here, I'm concerned for my male clownfish. He hasn't looked so great last couple of days and I don't know what he has. He has a weird injury on a hill and just now his eyes are bulging. Please help!!!

Your clownfish looks to have an internal fungus or what we often refer to as popeye. You can treat this by mixing the fishes food with Seachems Kanaplex and focus and even adding a bit of garlic extreme or something comparable. Does the clown still swim normal? Does the fish have any reddened skin patches or fin damage?

Hello thank you for the reply, this morning he's now on the substrate with labored breathing, the only reddened skin on him is on his fin as shown in the picture. Other than that he looks healthy. Are those remedies safe for Coral?
