Default Yellow tang bit off more then it can chew

This evening I noticed my yellow tang was swimming around with its mouth open and something hanging out. Upon closer inspection it looks like the empty shell of a bubble algea and in its mouth is another bubble in tact. It doesn't appear to be overly stressed at the moment, seems to be breathing normally (maybe slightly faster then normal but not rapid) and comes out for food, just cant eat anything.

I feel I should wait a couple days to see if the bubble bursts on its own and then if that doesn't happen attempt to capture it and manually remove the bubble with tweezers.

Has anyone seen this before? and should I do anything differently?

Thanks
