No, don't do that, it will only stress your tang and you may hurt him. Be patient, your fish will shed it's mucus from the lip area and the glue should fall off.

Ok day 2 still completely sealed up

with a tang I agree give it a few days to see if it sheds it....I only did it with my trigger because they are alot tougher...
