hop foam during fermentation

I still brew beer with kits. I love the barons line of brew kits. A beer I just put down, I got some hops to experiment with and dry hop my brew. After 2 days I noticed a thick foam which looks like the hops. Should I just let it settle on its own or stir it in?

I let it ride...unless its a large dry hop (like 6oz+), then I gently swirl the carboy to wet the hops (careful to not splash)

I'd say it might have been about 50 pellets

next time add the hops after primary fermentation as some of your hop aroma will be lost during primary fermentation. I add dry hops 5 or so days prior to kegging/bottling.
