It has been growing very fast and I was wondering if I cut it in half will it grow back to what it looks like now or will it grow differently?

They look like Kenya trees, but tricky to see with the blues on. I frag softies by chopping them up, laying them on some rock rubble in a container in my tank with only a bit of flow until they attach, then now they're on the rock. You can also carefully superglue or attach them with a rubber band.
 
You can’t really kill Kenya tree. It’s a very hardy coral and will survive just about anything including nuclear fallout.

Not only will it grow back but it’ll grow just as fast.
 
I would expect it to grow similarly but not exactly.

I'm killing one (or my leopard wrasse is). Every single night he completely covers it with sand and after 3 years of this, it's finally dying.
