HELP! Breeding True Perculas ate something!

[salty]

:bablefishI hope someone here can help me.. I have a Breeding pair of TRUE Percula's that lay egg's every 15 days... While moving them to my 90 gallon reef I used a brush to scrub some red algae off one of my rocks... Well I seem to have lost a nylon bristle from the brush in the tank without knowing it... Well I saw my Large female of the pair eat it and half of it sticking out of her mouth. I could not catch her and thought she may just spit it out after a while.. Well it's been three days now that she has stopped eating. She looks healthy and acts fine but she always ate like a pig and now nothing... Is there anything I can do to get her to poop it out? (God this sounds insane) I would hate to lose here as I have had her for 4 years and is one of my favorite fish. It seems like she is pooping like a white clearish type of waste, but I don't see the nylon coming out... HELP!

Do you have a picture? Is it still in her mouth?

 

[chazertis]

it sounds like she forced it in

Sounds like a situation I am having with my Midas Blenny... just chills on a rock and doesn't eat... think he ate something bad.

You will probably need to get her to a tropical fish doctor, some vets will specialize in exotic species, and have them anesthetize her and remove the foreign object. I know these kind of operations are done on Koi but I don't know if clownfish are big enough for an operation like this. Good luck.
