Hey everyone! I knocked my branching hammer off it’s spot and it fell into a crevice. When I went to pull it out, half of a head ripped off (please see pics). I took out the pieces that ripped off and this is what remains. Should I just leave it? Remove it? Any changes to the lights/flow? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Savage..... I would keep a CLOSE eye on it and frag that head off if it gets worse. Then dip it.

I once moved a powerhead over my frogspawn and it chopped a tentacle off. It healed almost immediately but yours is definitely on another level though.
