I recently had a heniochus develop a popeye condition with some external 
white stuff on it. Limited response to a product called Eye Fungex (two-part
treatment of siver nitrate and K dichromate, directly applied.) Then tried
a product called Furan-2, which is yellow stuff added to the water (guess
that's not very specific, but the package is at home.) 

The Furan-2 knocked it right in the head. Noticeable improvement in less 
than 24 hours. Gone after two treatments. No noticeable effect on filtration.
The treatment regimen was:

1 capsule in 10 gallons.
1 capsule again the third day.
wait 24 hours
strip medication with 50% change, dose with Shieldex, and restart carbon 
filtration.

As usual, I don't know exactly what the disease agent was, only the symptom. 
Guessed right this time. Good luck.
