Haha! I'll try and get a pic they are wiggley little things and can be hard to get pictures of.

If it's got sand in there, it would most certainly come out at some point.

that’s a first never seen something like that. Keep an eye on it. It might be worth researching clove oil. I had a blue spotted Toby puffer while I was doing reasearch before I bought him I looked up what to do Incase Teeth got to large they could sedate the fish in a small amount of clove oil and tank water so they could clip the teeth. So if the clown starts having issues a last resort would be to try to sedate it with clove oils and maybe try to get it out with small tweezers ?

I was thinking of using tweezers but I kind of figured it might cause more dammage than the sand itself.

Update. The piece of sand came out.
