Tried placing some nori. She went for it but is not able to open her mouth. Could it actually be in her mouth and will that come out/off? It looks like she thought the glue bubble was food and chomped down on it. She seems to be breathing ok and is swimming well.
This has happened before? Wow! Would not have expected this. Hopefully you are able to remove it or it falls off quickly.Is the fish still able to breath o.k.?
We've seen this happen a few times here, and as long as the fish can breath, the glue lets go after some time, like within a day or so.
If it is not able to breath properly, that is an acute issue that might require you to try and remove it, but of course, that's a lot rickier because you can damage the fish.

Yes - it often happens when gluing frags - the fish thinks the new 'white stuff' is foodThis has happened before? Wow! Would not have expected this. Hopefully you are able to remove it or it falls off quickly.
I would watch. There is not much to do. I suppose you could catch the fish and try to remove the glue with tweezers, etc.A quick update. She has been rubbing her snout against the rock, The main exterior blob of glue has fallen off. The glue remains in her mouth and is preventing her from opening it to eat. She is still breathing well and swimming around.
