Recall Knowledge DC 26 (arcana)
Disable DC 32 athletics (expert) to rip the reflexive tendrils off the bud or DC 32 thievery (expert) to trigger the tendrils beforehand and keep them occupied.

Sargassum heaps that have only started to grow have no intelligence, but are incredibly tenacious and can reflexively grab onto nearby prey. They obtain nutrients by drowning prey in the water they grow in.
