I leave them and they’re usually gone in a day or 2. Similar to what @jhuynh said, it gets chopped by my powerheads.

Not sure why it would need to be taken out?

I haven’t taken them out in many years and never caused any problems. I have taken them out before just to marvel at it before, that’s worth doing if you are so inclined.
