Hi please see pics attached.
noticed this guys eye is swollen and almost white. Could this be injury or worse? :( he is acting absolutely fine and normal. 20160927_205349.jpg20160927_205224.jpg20160927_205431.jpg
 
looks like Popeye , when my tang had Popeye I used Tetracycline in my qt took him about 2 weeks to fully recover, this medication works in both freshwater and saltwater
I recommend using a qt tank as this stuff turns the water orange and will kill all the beneficial bacteria in the main tank
Popeye-Exophthalmia

welcome to AA the link I provided should help explain the bacteria a little more in depth,
