to break or not to break

Hey guys,

So I have a candy cane coral that I purchased that has a few dead heads, the heads were like that since I purchased the coral, the ones that were not dead are doing great, and some that had partial tissue are re-growing fairly quickly. My question is what to do about the other ones... I want to do whats best for the coral and I dont mind the dead heads if its good for the coral, but if they tend to recover and re-grow quicker if the heads are gone, I might do that as well...

Is there any consensus on this?

I would leave them, in some cases they come back after time.

Cool thanks for the info... I most definitely dont mind leaving them, if there is a chance they will come back.
