Something in my scoly's mouth.

[Sackson]

It's been like this since I bought it last week. It does not respond to food with this obstruction. I've been thinking of pulling it out but I heard that may kill the coral. Input appreciated.http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=345925&stc=1&d=1458859183

I would get some tweezers and it least give it a tug. I don't see how removing it would kill the coral unless you just butcher it in the process. GL.

ive seen my scoly take a snail in it mouth, then spit it out.. i would never think of trying to extract anything from mine.. i would think it would spit it out.

when the lights go out, does it have it tentacles out? if so, feed it then...

I've had nassarius snails crawl in a couple times after feeding the scolys. I just plucked them out and scoly was no worse for wear.

I just had this happen again, but I haven't fed my scoly in over two weeks so I don't know what the snail was doing in there. I removed it and both seem perfectly fine again.

After I pulled it out, the scoly is slowly dying. It's now showing skeleton and has a big, gaping mouth. I think its days are numbered.

Can't say I'm an expert in Scolys by any means, but maybe get a dip, like Revive to try saving it.

I doubt it was the "dental work" so to say. GL.
