I would get t out whenever you can, but I don't see how it could hurt anything

your corals might not like the dust, but they'll get over it in a day or 2

well they were actually in the filter sock so no dust came out, some are barried in the sand in my fuge i didnt want to stur it up

I don't think it's something you shouldworry about. If you can scoop some of it then get it, but otherwise you should be fine.

I did the same thing and I get it out when I can but it hasn't hurt anything and I spilled much more than a teaspoon and it had any ill affects on the tank and it was about a month ago...knock on wood.
