Ok so I am trying to trap my blue tang. I had him all the way in fish trap and he somehow thrashed his way out. On the way out he broke off my tsa bioshock frag. I glued the top right away to a frag plug it’s polyps are out already and the base still has some polyps. Do you think the two pices will survive? Has anyone had similar situation with broken encrusted frag?

Happens all the time. Both survive usually.
 
Unless you want two separate pieces, it would of been best to just glue it back to the base. They can fuse back in a week or two

I've done this in the past and after a while couldn't tell where the original break had happened.
