Help me confirm these are dead before I pull them

I've talked to people who've had "dead" plate corals for a year or more and all of a sudden it's back.

I've had a hammer head come back like that.

I leave skeletons in the tank.

Ivan drago style: if he dies, he dies (cut dialogue: then I leave his bones in the ring and hope he becomes a huge Hollywood superpower and revives my career with a bunch of other dead corals...I mean careers in some sort of expendable project.)

Never throw out a plate coral. A lot of people think they are just a sand based singular coral, kind of like a sand dollar. This couldn't be farther from the truth. In the wild the first plate will die and then another one sprouts on top. They keep doing this and before you know it it looks like a stack of pancakes.

I would stop spot feeding them. They dont need much except light. Mine like low flow. I never feed mine. They only issue I ever had was when my pencil urchin went across the top of a foot long colony and ate off all the heads. They are slowly coming back.

I will stop then. That makes sense. Thank you
