Just woke up this mourning and noticed my blue hippo tang has an enlarged eye!It has almost like a glaze look to it and its twice the size of the other one.I have had this fish for almost 2 years with no problems.Is it [possible he scraped it on liverock or possibly got to close to my anemone?Any medication i can use?He is eating and is showing no ill effects yet.

That's often a result of injury, keep the water quality excellent and if the damage isn't severe he should recover.

I was planning on doing a water change today.think i should wait a couple days to avoid stress or go ahead with it to help the water quality??

Water change is good and as long as temp. and SG match the tank I don't see a problem.
