Burnt coral- leave alone or cut?

[Turkey head]

hello, a piece of coral broke off last night and fell in the monti cap. I don’t really want to cut the spot out but it will be more susceptible to bacteria and algae. Any recommendations?

Id leave it be. That's a chalice coral, echinopora lamellosa

Thanks for the advice and for clarification on what it is

Anytime. From the pic it doesn't seem to be spreading where it was damaged. If you see fresh white skeleton then I'd advise fragging around it. That's a nice chalice colony.
