I bought a banggai cardinal yesterday and today I notice his right eye is cloudy and a little swollen.  I called back the lfs just now and he said it is probably "pop eye."  how concerned should I be?  I know technically it "could be" lots of things..before I bought the fish I made sure he was "healthy" looking.  Plus this is the 2nd fish I've ever purchased so I am way paranoid and take a long time making a decision before I buy a fish.  Any input is very much appreciated!!!

It takes a while to learn what a totally healthy fish looks like. I've been at this for 17 years and I still get fooled.
Unfortunately, many of us go through a lot of fish before we find those that survive. If you are feeding Garlic Oil as described in this thread http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34014 and have done everything you can to ensure a good healthy environment, there isn't much else you can do about this condition. The LFS may be right, but it's best not to assume.
Can you post a pic of the fish and of the tank just in case we can find something else?
