Dendro with frogspawn in its mouth
 

I just noticed one of my dendros with a piece of frogspawn/hammer in its mouth. Should I leave it or try to pluck it out?

Here's a pic....

Happens often with my corals when my euphylias release buds. They hate it so I just turkey blast it till it flies off

Just about lost my prized scoly yesterday from the exact same thing. Careful with that stuff, its a killer, attached to the coral or floating around.

I'm curious as to why the dendros doesn't let go of it. Wasn't sure if it was trying to eat it or ??? In anycase I used a baster to blast it out of its mouth.

Get it out of there , I think this is the cause of a lot of LPS death that seems to happen out of the blue for no apparent reason. One day this Acan , or that Scoly or other LPS that like eat seemed fine and a couple days later died but everything else looks fine. We just didn't happen to see it swallow a piece of euphyllia so had no idea why it died. It's just a theory so who knows , all I know is euphyllia pack a pretty decent sting so I figure it can't be great for any coral that eats a piece

I would say it's not letting go because it's being stung.
