I’d say try to make a glue case over the skeleton, just to help it a little

that’s what i tried to do but i don’t think it’s flush with the part it broke from

If it’s not perfectly fused it’ll be okay. Candy canes branch from the skeleton so maybe a new head will grow from there. Full polyp extension is good

ok i was just seeing if i had to do something about it i haven’t fed it yet so i didn’t know if it would affect feeding

Wait till the lights turn off and feed it half a mysis shrimp or less with the pumps off. If it eats, you’re fine. Wait till the feeding tentacles come out, probably 30 mins to an hour after the lights turn off. If it never extends but your other LPS does, I’d be worried
