Branching Hammer, Dying head - do I need to amputate?

[Turd Ferguson]

I think my coral beauty was nipping at a head and caused it to recede. Can I leave it or will it affect the other branches therefore need to Be cut ?

Im inclined just to leave it although I guess a fungus or algae could start to grow and cause issues?

thanks

It may just be retracted. Keep an eye in case it turns into bjd. Then may be time to frag it.
