By shed, I think you mean it bailed out of the skeleton.

There's conflicting data on this, but most roads lead to no I believe.

yes, it has detached itself from the skeleton. I'm surprised it has not died yet

Corals are generally not known to survive after polyp bailout. They tend to just slowly wither away, and definitely won't grow. No harm in keeping it just in case, but don't expect much.

Also, you need to figure out why this happened in the first place. Polyp bailout is usually due to severe stress.
