I mentioned in a post that my radial filefish ate a piece of glue. It got stuck in it's mouth and it hasn't dislodged in 2 weeks. Now it is acting really tired and laying sideways a lot. It is symbiotic and does host corals but I haven't seen it lay down this much. It is still eating but it doesn't look healthy. Help please I think it is going to die.
 
I think you may have to capture this fish, inspect to see if glue is grabable, get some small needle nose tweezers and see ifyou can grab the glue and pull it out if its mouth. If it is stuck further down it may be a goner as it couldhave partially gllued its stomach or esophagus
