A landing leg has been removed, looks like they will remove them all before lifting whats left of the core:

Damage to M1-D engine bells clearly seen in association with the legs being broken and collapsing. We saw similar damage with "Ol' Salty McBooster"

BATTERED BOOSTER:  The 3rd  @SpaceX booster that landed successfully but damaged out at sea has arrived at Port Canaveral.  Look closely and you can see the 2 fairings that were successfully salvaged from the ocean.

False alarm it seems, they moved the core to the middle of OCISLY;

Lifting up and down was to flatten the under leg:

Damaged Falcon Heavy Arabsat 6A Core Booster Lifted off Drone Ship in 4k UHD

Cocoa Beach 365
Published on Apr 18, 2019

What is left of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy Arabsat 6A core booster is lifted off of the drone landing ship "Of Course I Still Love You" at Port Canaveral, Florida.  The booster made a successful landing, however, heavy seas eventually caused the rocket to fall over before it could be secured.  Filmed in 4k Ultra HD April 18th, 2019.

B1055.1 is still lying around on the dock in Port, it seems it had been removed and has been lying there the past 2 days without anyone noticing.

Remnants of B1055.1 are still on the side of the dock today, teams must be trying to figure out how to transport whats left of the core:
