Was doing some cleaning in my tank and accidentally hit the polyp. It expelled some green substance. Is this a death sentence?

Not necessarily.
To tell you the truth, most of the time that's not a big deal.
Give it some time and watch closely for any possible bacterial infection.
Make sure it has good water flow, not too much!!

Even if a polyp dies there is a chance it can come back. Never throw a zoa/paly frag out until there is nothing left on it.
