To a degree yes depending on severity but tails and pectoral are generally full, upper dorsal May or may be restored
Are you able to see from the picture if it will heal?Fins are slow to heal and grow. Losing an actual tail (not just fin but tail flesh) will not grow back.
Help the fish by improving its immunity and ability to heal wounds by adding supplements for an ill fish to its diet as recommended in the Fish Health Rough Proper Nutrition post. Use especially Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan.

I really hope it gets a full recovery
Since the fish has some tail fin there, it will heal. It will take a long time. Be sure to supplement feedings with Vita-Chem and the aforementioned Beta Glucan.Are you able to see from the picture if it will heal?
Ya it was an aggression issue and I took it off someone, he could’ve took it out earlier I don’t no why he waited to this point, so you don’t think the dorsal fin and the bottom will grow back ?Seeing the fish now on a large screen, the tail will come back some as will caudal. The top fin will be little to no growth and this is NOT a nutritional issue but an aggression issue and whoever caused the aggression will have to be isolated from the fish. Fish is lucky to have survived this trauma
Percenrage chance of growing back even a little, Maybe 10%Ya it was an aggression issue and I took it off someone, he could’ve took it out earlier I don’t no why he waited to this point, so you don’t think the dorsal fin and the bottom will grow back ?
Wow that’s not a number I wanted to see what can you do I guessPercenrage chance of growing back even a little, Maybe 10%
LolllllThat's sad - hope it will survive. Look at the bright side, you may possess one of the rarest Gem Tangs out there - "Finless Madagascar Gem Tang"?
A comment was made that its hard to predict which is true, but my experience with tangs which is lengthy- the dorsal rarely recovers likely due to the missing bone structure associated with the fin and is also used as a steering wheel for turning and stabilizing itself in the waterWow that’s not a number I wanted to see what can you do I guess
