They will spawn under the enemy if you are close enough. But they will NOT respawn if new enemies enter the fray.

Instead it slaps around anything near them in a short distance  and hook them if possible. In any case all Hydroid's abilities are all greatly affected by range and damage should be secondary.

More enemies you catch means more enemies disabled with tentacles.
