Acan has snail in it

It looks like my acan swallowed a dwarf cerith. The snail is piercing the tissue around the mouth. Should I just let the coral deal with it or should I extract the snail and dip it In coral rx or something?

The snail's tissue will be digested but the shell will most likely stay there. The acan's oral disk will regrow around it in time. Nothing you can do.

+1. Leave it be. The acan should be okay in time. I looks happy for the moment. Just think of it like a tribal piercing or something. lol

I had the same thing happen to me. I did pull the snail out, but my acan didn't make it. I would keep a close eye on it.
