I’ve found frogspawn to be very resilient.....I’ve dropped rocks, overdosed chemicals, had low salinity and mine have all survived and are continuing t9 thrive.

Keep up your regular maintenance, parameters, etc. and be patient - sometimes it took mine 6-8 weeks to fully recover

I had a candy cane with 4 heads fall off the live rock outside of the tank to the floor from about 6 feet up and it looked like a garbage truck ran over it. Put it back in and hope for the best. Here is mine as of last week. Hope it bounces back for you. There is still a chance.

I think I may have just left it like it was. It may recover, but all the superglue may hamper recovery more than help it. Time will tell. Good luck with it.
