Will Euphyllia recolonize bare skeleton?

[dtruitt]

I made the mistake of gluing a lovely green torch near a very popular cave. I set a splatter hammer at the bottom of the cave waiting to pick a good spot for it.

This cave is somewhat new after adding some more live rock. The fish all took a very strong liking to this cave.

After getting buzzed by fish for a week, the green torch looks like it will lose a head. Should I just hack off the dead head, or is there a chance it will be recolonized?

hack off, be careful not to crack it. Dead heads don't recolonize.
