Tailspot Blenny bloated from eating aragonite

My tailspot keeps eating the crushed coral and rarely spits them out. His stomach is bloated and you can actually see the lumps of coral in his gut.
I feed my tank nori because I have a tang and I'm pretty sure he eats those scraps too.

I'm not sure I ever saw him poop. He's still a small guy that I've had for about a month and a half.

Should I be concerned?
Anything I can do?
 
You could try to find an aquatic vet? Yikes I don't know, poor thing :( If he looks like he's suffering, and has little to no chance of surviving, then I'd probably euthanize him.
 
Try and get him to eat more greenery. Have the nori available to him at all time, start feeding some emerald entree and frozen peas. Will help with constipation
