Hello reefers,

my coral was already acting weird. He always bended downwards and never stayed up right.
Now it fell and broke a bit. Should I be concerned about my health because of the toxic it can release and other coral and animals in the aquarium?
sorry for the bad pics.

Looks like a leather . Replant it into sandbed if you can or into a crevice in rock and bring it off the bottom
 
Not unless you plan to cook and eat it.

It appears to be a leather coral. They can be toxic to other corals. But leave it alone and it'll probably reattach itself.
 
Tank seems established, the leather will be fine - as mentioned by @vetteguy53081 it'll re-attach itself to rock - glue won't work, as it'll slime the glue off, just try to stick it in some rockwork, or on a rock you want it on in a low flow area.

If you're concerned about toxins, filter over activated carbon just in case - although I'm pretty sure you're fine either way - no worries :)
 
Alright thank you very much!
Hahahahah I will try not to cook and eat it.
I will put it at a place where it can recover. Thank for the help!
