Leave it alone. It will be ok. Looks like it was growing around the object.

Yeah it’s most likely fine. These things are nearly indestructible—I remember when I first got mine I accidentally dropped it face down on the floor and the top cracked. Swished it around in some tank water to clean it off and put it in the tank, and it was cranky for half a day then looked like nothing was ever wrong.

So everything will be fine nothing to worry about? Anything I need to watch for?

Does it come out and extend its polyps? Has it been cranky for a long time lately or behaving normally?

But honestly, I think nothing to worry about.

These are very resilient and forgiving coral and will heal quickly and shed to the point that they looked like they were butchered with a pair of scissors.
