Dendro Help!

Last night one of my powerheads feel & forced the flow on to one of my dendro heads. After waking up in horror to find half of the polyp torn and drapped over like a pez dispenser. My question is what will happen next, will the polyp die & grow babies from the dead skelleton or will the polyp fuse & grow back to normal?

I've had a dendro for about 2 years and its suffered abuse far worse than that. Valonia, cyano, upside down in the sand for a few days, lost behind the rocks .... He'll be fine. If there is just a hint of orange flesh - it will survive. Sometimes it actually encourages new growth. I'm pretty sure if you cut a dendro right down the mouth, you'd have two mouths in a month. Just haven't tried it. :)
