Clownfish problem

[hm189]

Bit of an odd problem but I was removing my lid to clean it and a piece of plastic fell into the tank. Not sure where it came from but my clownfish got to it before I could get it out. I saw him swallow it, spit it out, then swallow it again. I didn't see him spit it out and I watched him for 10 minutes after. I'm worried it is going to impact his digestive system. Is there anything I can do?

@Jay Hemdal would be the expert here, but I don’t think there’s much you can do. If it did cause a blockage, the fish is probably too small to do anything.

I agree, you won't be able to intercede if it did swallow a bit of plastic, all you can really do is wait and see - sorry!
