My Cardinal Fish swallowed uncured superglue

[Reef4Silk]

I am freaking out, guys. Please help!

My cardinal fish just ate a blob of uncured reef superglue that got loose from fragging a coral. He is doing fine, but I've tried feeding him to see if it clogged anything. He took the food, but after a while, he spit it back out. I hope his esophagus and pharyngeal jaw movements are not glued shut. Please help; I feel so bad and helpless. If it is glued shut, will it eventually dissolve?

It will probably be fine. There is too much mucous in the digestive tract for the glue to adhere to anything so it will just solidify and hopefully be depolymerized by the gut acid. Worst case scenario it causes a blockage in the intestines, but there’s really nothing you can do about it now. Pray to the fish gods that he just passes it through I guess.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your response
