I have a new torch that has a barnacle firmly embedded in the skeleton of one of the heads. I didn't take a picture, but here is a picture online that looks pretty much the same, with the same result that the polyps are not extending near the active barnacle:
From what I've seen online this is somewhat common, but it is definately irritating the coral and I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to superglue the barnacle? It can't be manually removed because the coral's skeleton has partially enveloped it.
