Clownfish bit bristle worm

[mochaclownlover]

So like the title says, my clown seems to have attacked a bristle worm. She has some bristles around her mouth and is hyperventilating. I know it’s not life threatening, but is there anything I can do to help her?

Never mind, all good now. I gave her some large flake foods and it seems to have dislodge them.

Good to hear. Never thought about the bristles effects on fish before. I just know super glue and attacking fish don’t mix

Yeah, never had to deal with fish&superglue and hopefully never will. Only thing I can guess is that the worm was too close to their eggs they laid a couple days ago, and she attacked it
