Break off dead parts of branching corals or leave them?

I got a nice frogspawn frag today. It has 4 branches and 2 of them are dead. The other 2 are looking beautiful. Should I break off the dead parts or leave them? TIA


Oh the parts that are dead actually have a few froggies on them but they did not come out today.

What are froggies??
I would leave them, there may be a chance that they come back. I had a few dead heads on my FS and hammer and a new head sprouted out of the side of the dead part.
IMO leave them. Or if you do break them off with out crushing them put them in a area where they can get some light.
