my urchin knocked over my mushroom coral and it was on the sandbed for a couple days and now it looks like this. Will it recover? Anyone know what’s up with it and why there’s so many mouths/green things?

This somehow got damaged and will have to be saved as you are seeing cell structure. place it in a container of tank water and cut the good area with a sharp razor blade as if you were cutting kiwi or similar and rinse in the water and return to tank in side a small cup for 48hrs to allow healing of the fresh cut.my urchin knocked over my mushroom coral and it was on the sandbed for a couple days and now it looks like this.

Alright, yeah I figured they’re hardy enough. Hate to see it like that, but it’s kinda cool, imma take care of it, see if it’ll eat any and hope it recovers.The green stuff is mesenterial filaments, aka "guts". Just put it in a low flow, lower light spot and see how it looks in a few days. They are pretty hardy and it will likely be fine.
Don't feed it anything right now. It has literally thrown up its stomach. Just leave it alone for a few days.Alright, yeah I figured they’re hardy enough. Hate to see it like that, but it’s kinda cool, imma take care of it, see if it’ll eat any and hope it recovers.
And OMG, please!!! Do not cut out the "damaged" part!! Not 'cell structure' at all.This somehow got damaged and will have to be saved as you are seeing cell structure. place it in a container of tank water and cut the good area with a sharp razor blade as if you were cutting kiwi or similar and rinse in the water and return to tank in side a small cup for 48hrs to allow healing of the fresh cut.
If reluctant, see videos om you tube- easier than it sounds

Any updates?Just leaving it be, like most things in this hobby
Things are starting to look better, it just looks clear in one part, but there arent any lose parts anymore. I believe it will recover.
It's looking about the same since the 2nd day after i glued it back. Its still got color, there's just one section that gray clearish. I expect it's on its path to recoveryAny updates?
