Turtle ate some dried aquarium sealant

Turtle is fairly young, between 5-6 inches across, female. Healthy and active.
I had a fake plant siliconed to a rock. At some point the turtle tore the plant off the rock and I don't see the sealant anywhere. Kind of worried that if the turtle was somehow able to swallow it whole it will clog its insides. Anyone ever had this happen?

It should be OK if it passes, do you know how big the piece was?

I'd say the diameter was between that of a dime and nickel. I'm kind of hoping it ripped off pieces of it before eating it. I have several fake plants siliconed to rocks, and they've come undone before, but the silicone has always stuck to the rock before. Was kind of surprised to see it missing from both the rock and plant.

Are you sure it's still not in the water somewhere?

Well it could be, but I don't see it anywhere. Not much I can do but wait I suppose.

That sounds like it's quite large, I hope it passes.
