Pleco tore up plants - what to do?

[pwrflpills]

I recently moved and upgraded from a 20gal to a 29. A day or so after the move my clown pleco went berserk and basically destroyed all of my Anubias Barteri plants that I've had for years. Should I cut off all of the damaged leaves right now or should I leave them on to do what they can to help the plant sprout some new leaves? If they begin rotting (which it looks like some of them are) I'll just clip them anyway. It just stinks wanting to invite people to our new place and my tank looks horrible.

A link to the pictures is below. The other main plant is about half as damaged, but it's still really bad.

I also have a lighting question, but I'll post that in another thread.

Cut those leaves off. The plant is just wasting energy trying to maintain them, and it's not going to happen. Clip them off low to the rhizome, but don't cut the rhizome.

Trim as mentioned above. The fish must have been seriously hungry to have eaten anubias leaves.
