Hello! First post here, but I’m not gonna lie -I’ve used this forum for offhanded help for a while.
So. I’ve got a firework clove polyp I picked up a few weeks ago. I got very overzealous and tried a hydrogen peroxide dip to get rid of a little algae. Welllll he didn’t survive that little swim. So, hopes and dreams prevailed and I dropped the plug in my tank anyway.
Here’s where it gets strange. The stalks withered away and I watched my $50 circle the drain (I live in Hawaii, so you probably know why it’s so expensive).
About a week later, a verrrrry tiny polyp raises it’s head from the lump. 6 hours later it’s gone. Two days after that, another tiny polyp. Then gone. Now, I’m at the point where I get two or three every day, but it never fails, they all fall back and disappear.

Is this a thing that happens? Can I expect one to eventually stick? My uneducated thought is it’s building up surface mass until it’s finally able to support a full polyp?

Maybe
I have had corals come back from the dead after a year
 
In the right conditions those things are absolute weeds.

it will probably come back and you will be trimming it and selling frags.
 
Could be just retracting into the rock when you don't see
