    I was gluing a frag to some rock and my Achilles came right over and picked at it. Got a chunk of Frag glue on its mouth. I was trying to catch it - but it is impossible in my tank with my rock work. It is swimming around and rubbing the glue on rocks trying to get it off. Of all fish... ugh - how can I help it or will it eventually knock it off?

    I guess that is what I get for hand feeding them.

    Does it prevent him from eating?

    at this point yes. He has been rubbing it on rocks. My hopes is he works it off - out. I don't think catching him is an option and will stress him out even more.

    It should come off pretty soon. I had a powder blue do the same.

    Looks like he got the big piece off, Still has some though, looks like he ate some Reef Nutrition R.O.E, couldnt really eat mysis. I am hoping the rest works it way out.
