Hammer fell in sand….seems sad…

One morning I found the glue that was securing one of my hammers had broken free and it was lying face down in the sand. I shook it off, gently used a baster to get all the sand out and re-stuck it.

It just hasn't come back the same nice plump full extension that it was. Its not receding just next extending as much as it did. It's been a couple weeks now. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is there a dip I should try? Some other kind of rehab? Everything else in the tank is thriving. Do I just give it more time?
 
Persoanlly I would just give it time, it can take weeks to months for corals to recover from stress events but dipping it isn't going to hurt it.
 
Hammer can die back all the way into the skeleton and then resurface given good water conditions and light. Be patient. It can take a few months.
