bubble coral has gobbled a snail

I have had a bubble coral for about 6 months now and it has been doing awesome. The vesicles did not inflate today and I can see the snail inside, the weight of it dragging the coral down, like a rock in a plastic bag. It must have fallen in last night. What should I do, if anything?

I'm not sure there's anything for you to do. Corals will expel things they don't want, but I'm not sure if the snail would be too big for that. That's really strange!

Thanks for the info. The coral is doing fine. It either expelled the snail or consumed it. Either way, it looks normal and once again flourishing.
