Ok so 2 days ago I purchased some new corals, some zoa's and some palys. I acclimated for one hour and noticed when I was putting them in the tank they was kinda slimy but really didn't think much of it cause I have have had others feel the same way before. But as soon as I put them in all my corals closed up completely. I just figured it was because I was messing around on the tank but yesterday when the lights came on I noticed my yellow tang had a bulging eye and it was cloudy then it went to both eyes within a hour and all mushrooms and hammer corals where still closed up so I started checking everything out and everything looked good so I was thinking the new corals might of let off some toxins in my water so I done a water change . Today I noticed the tangs eyes are not bulging but has a cloudy film over both eyes and I was wondering will this fall off or what should I do ? He won't eat anything but I think it's because he really can't see the food because of the film . He is just staying put but it does look like the film is starting to peel off . Any help is greatly appreciated .

It sounds like palytoxin from the zoa's was likely released into the water. I would use activated carbon immediately, and do a large water change asap, if possible. I don't know about the tangs eyes though, as I have not experienced that. Good luck!
I done a water change and using carbon . I turned my uv sterilizer off lastnight do you think it would help to run it also. Everything is starting to open back up so I think the water change helped out just not real sure what to do about the tang . thanks for the help
