I was trying to re-glue them after it fall off the rock. And I accidentally put a super glue on 1 of the head.
Will it be ok?

Can you try to gently wipe it off? If it's glued closed it then that head will probably die.
But don't stress, this stuff happens sometimes. I have a longstanding theory that superglue has very advanced artifical intelligence and can't be controlled by humans...
 
I occasionally have this happen with Zoa frags. If it’s just a little sometimes the polyp can still open and it’s okay. If it’s totally covered then it won’t recover and will die. No big deal tho, zoas spread pretty fast
 
I’ve accidentally superglued mine too. On several occasions actually ‍♀️ . They were fine. As a matter of fact they eventually shed the glue off themselves and are doing great.

Thank you guys. I will keep an eye of it. Hopefully it will be ok.
