Not a tank emergency, but concerning enough to ask for advice. Last night I had to remove a small dead purple whip gorgonian from my tank. Still had some flesh on it. Forgot to take out the trash can and I suspect one of my dogs got into the trash and ate most of it. She has a history of eating weird ****.
I suspect it happened between noon and now (6:40pm). She’s acting normal, no puke or any signs of problems. The gorg was pretty small, 2 thin branches about 6” tall.
So, strange situation for me. Obviously if it was a paly or zoa I’d be at the Emergency Vet right now. But I’ve never read anything about toxins associated with photosynthetic gorgs.
My plan is to observe unless anyone has heard of gorg ingestion being toxic or fatal to dogs. Thanks.
