Do you leave or remove it when feeding the chameleon?

Leave it. It won't hurt the cham. Think about this... in the wild, would the Cham remove the horn prior to eating or just eat it with the horn??? LOL, when in doubt trust mother nature.

That's what I was thinking but you never know?

The 'horn' is actually soft. It won't bother your cham at all.
