You should be fine, I recently had the same thing happen with a female leo. I pulled it out and she was eating later that night here are some pictures. Only remove if the tip of stinger is exposed it will cause less damage. I could also not see the wound after I pulled it. I think what happens is they ingest the old stinger as there going thru the sand or taking in food and it gets pushed out from pressure of food. I did not add any meds just let it be. Was there any bleeding? None with mine.

With all the other stuff mentioned, toss an extra airstone on the tank to increase DO levels.
