Default HELP!!! My Seahorse swallowed a bristle worm!!!!

Woke up to my male seahorse lying down & in distress. When I gently pulled him out of the cave he was in, I looked inside his tube mouth & it looks like bristle worm bristles in there. I strongly suspect he inhaled a little bristle worm while eating mysis. I hate friggin bristle worms Now he's lying on his side & I don't see the worm so I can't try to pull it out. I've had him for over 1.5 years and so he must be over 2 years old already, but I don't think it's old age.

I'm so mad that at this point, if my favourite seahorse dies, I'm going to pull everything out of that tank, find every b.worm I can & literally nuke em all

Read about the anti-worming treatment on a recent post but not sure if the cure will kill the patient. Other than making him comfortable, any suggestions????

Sorry for the ranting,

Anthony (unhappy Seahorse Fanatic)
