To make it short, No.. most likely something damaged the frogspawn which caused the skeleton to fracture off. Any tissue attached will most likely not survive and the mother colony will eventually reform the broken skeleton.
 
Agreed. They don't normally split this way. Normally, you see small baby heads forming on the "trunk" and they start growing. This coral doesn't split like Candy Cane does.
