I got up this morning and was looking at my Heniochus and his eye was bulging out. any one know what would have caused this or if there is anything I can do to help it or if it will just get better on its own??

Does it look cloudy at all? The only thing I could think of trying would be Melafix. Treat it in a hospital tank if at all possible.

I had a clown with that problem. I treated it with Melafix in a seperate tank and it worked. I still have the Melafix if you want it. And, I'm in Highland.

well the good news is, it looks like the fish is going to make it. the second Eye has gone back in.
the bad news is that the first eye that popped is gone.

I'm glad the fish is going to make it but that's a bummer about the eye.

I've heard that called Pop-eye. Can't remember the exact reasons but I've heard its due to shipping and the high pressure of the flight in the plane. Once they get it, every time they get stressed out their eye pops out. I've seen fish live for a long time with it. Just try to reduce the stressful situation.
