Candy Cane-damaged heads

Picked up (3) 2-3 head pieces of bright green claustrea last weekend. Wedged them between the liverock. Somehow the fish were able to knock 2 of them off. Of course they would land head down, tearing one of the heads on each. Is there a chance they will heal themselves or should I cut the damaged heads away?
Thanks.
 
Yes, just keep the water conditions good, and keep them in an area of low flow and moderate lighting. They're pretty tough/hardy corals, so it should survive. If you begin to see some serious tissue necrosis, then go ahead and cut the heads off.
 
I agree, candy cane corals are very hardy. Set it in a safe place and it'll heal itself in no time.
