Was it filthy? If it was "kitchen clean" you should be fine...you can still take it off and sanitize it if you want to.

Pull it off and sanitize it...be quick about it and then...RDWHAHB...you'll be fine.

I'd just pop it off, spray some sanitizer on in (star-san, iodophore) whatever you use and leave it be.. as long as it wasn't filthy to start with you should be fine.
So far since I'm fairly new to brewing beer I've only used cambden tablets and my beers and wines have been fine isn't here something i should use that is better? I'd hate to screw up a good brew due to poor care by my own part

Yes!
if youre in the middle of fermentation you have positive pressure coming out.. nothing can get in! pop it off and do what you got to do!!

in all honesty, i would of just left it alone since it doesnt make contact with the beer.. then sanitize the bung hole before you stick your racking cane in..
