Re: Popeye.
Let it be. As long as the fish is eating, it should go away on its own. Worst case scenario is that it can't find food because they eye is messed up and it starves to death. But that's rare.

Re: Popeye.
I have a different course of action, if I may be so bold. If it is pop eye or cloud eye, it can cause permanent blindness in the fish if not taken care of. While it may be true that your fish can heal itself, that is not always the case. If it isn't showing significant improvement in two weeks, I would prepare a small amount of tank water in a bucket (say a gallon or two) and prepare a treatment of Melafix. Catch the fish and dip him in the bucket of Melafix treated water for about 10 minutes. repeat this regimine every other day for a week and it will go away.
Again, wait it out for 2 weeks, and then dip it. Just my  -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 shark / angel reef tank and 90 gallon reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn
