Broken Hammer Frag - Advice Needed

[SeanTank]

Hi everyone,
I recently got a new hammer frag and about a week in it got knocked over and fell which broke a chunk of the skeleton off of the main head. It still seems mostly happy and even has a few new heads growing on the stem on the back side.

My question is should I cut off the skeleton which is now just connected by flesh or leave it be? Will it naturally die off or should I cut it now so it can recover more quickly? I'll try to attach a photo, it's my first post so sorry for poor pic quality (moonlight lighting pic).

I've seen people super glue the piece back on.

@Johnd651 you had a thread about this after a favia cracked, right?
Might have been @ShakeyGizzard, your profile pics look similar.

Ah, found it

Should I frag it? Daily progress of broken favia

One of the two heads broke on the favia and it seems to have pulled apart over night. Should I cut it off and glue the pieces onto a plug? Or is the broken part going to be an issue and pull it?

Appreciate the recommendations! I tried a bit of super glue. If that doesn't hold I'll let nature take it's course and see if I end up with 2 frags.

I received a torch where the entire base broke off during shipping, about 1/4 the way up the "Stem". I tossed the base, and put the broken torch in teh tank, and it is thriving.

I've just let nature make the split.... so far so good.
