What's wrong with my fish?

I agree that the the eye condition was most likely caused by physical damage. You could leave it in the DT and see if it heals by itself. But like any physical damage, there is dangerous of secondary infection. Also the fish must be in pain now (if you belive fish can feel pain).

My fish have scratched their eyes on the rocks before, kinda looks like pop eye but it's always just one eye that's effected so I know it was a physical injury. Very first time I saw it I caught the fish put it in QT treated it with med.'s and it died Since then (it's happened to 3 of my other fish over the years, right now my powder blue tang has an eye scratch, but it's been a week and it's almost healed now) I leave the fish in the display and do nothing, it always heals on it's own in the display (without med.'s) within two weeks.
