LPS help

I had an awesome green candy cane but after Kent salt issues it hasn't been doing so well. Last night I noticed when I came home that it had been knocked off it's perch and fell to the sand bed and under one of my biggest rocks on the bottom of the stack. It could of been under there for maybe approx. 40 hours since I had been at work for a 24 hour shift the day before and running errands all day after I got off shift. After about 15 mins of trying to get it out with my finger tips barely being able to touch it I finally got it. As I pulled it out some of the flesh came off of the skeleton. It came off the skeleton like the mushroom heads off the stem in the garden mushroom variety if that makes any sense. So I took the part that came off and glued it to a rock. Then this morning it had fallen off the rock. Will it ever stay glued? Is gluing the way to go it? Will it create a new skeleton?

Here is a pic of what it looked like.

Here is what it looks like now. The brown skeleton head has been dead a little while but the two above that are the new ones that the polyps came off of. They were actually two skeletal heads splitting off into 4 heads.

And the loose polyps.

Corals can be very resilient. I would leave everything in the tank and see what happens. I use super glue gel to glue my frags and haven't had trouble with it staying where I put it. I did have some issues with the aquarium putty, so I switched to gel.
