I have a mated pair of naked clowns. They are always near there 2 anemones. This morning the female was on the opposite side of the tank just going back and forth and her left eye is popped out a bit. She looks lost and confused.

My blue tang has had a popped out eye before, but after researching I think his was due to physical damage from the coral he sleeps in. With the clown she is different because she is acting so different than normal. Any ideas what I should do?

Popeye is generally bacterial. If you have a qt, penicillin works well. I wouldn't treat the whole tank. That would be a VERY bad idea. If caughtnin time though, relatively easy to treat.
