Default Blue face angelfish help.

I just purchased a blue face angelfish. I had him qt-ed at the LFS for 2 months in a tank all by him self. He looks awesome! However, in my show tank now for 2 days and he has all of the sudden developed cloudy eyes and there is a large swollen patch just behind his face on one side. I can't figure it out. All of my parameters are great! I don't know what it could be. Could it possible be a bacterial infection, and if so, what would be the best remedy for me to treat him if that is in fact what it is? In my show tank I have a large radiata lion fish, large clown trigger, minneatus grouper, niger trigger and a harlequin tusk fish. I have a large acrylic container that I hang in the tank so that the angel can get used to everybody and be at peace. This way no body can mess with him for a few days. I do this with all of my fish and it has proved to work. Since all of my fish are aggressive fish this is the only way that I can think of adding a new fish to the system. It has worked so far with the grouper and the tusk fish, and so now I am trying it on the angel as well. I just want this angel to make it and grow to be healthy and beautiful. He is currently in his transition state. If he dies it would be an expensive loss. Any suggestions would be great
