My Niger Triggerfish took a bite of my coral glue, and I don't think he swallowed it, but the glue is stuck to his lips. Also he can still eat. Will he be okay.

I've had fish get other things stuck to their mouth before, it naturally should fall off within the next few days!

This has happened a few times with my tangs. They've all been able to chew threw it within a few days. However my scopas tangs up lip had rolled up and stayed like that since lol hasn't affected his appetite though

Laughed when I saw this post, because my Blue Jaw Trigger did the same thing , it happen so quickly, I just knew he was a goner. Very careful now when gluing frags, making sure he is not in the vacinity
