If it’s not perfectly fused it’ll be okay. Candy canes branch from the skeleton so maybe a new head will grow from there. Full polyp extension is good

Wait till the lights turn off and feed it half a mysis shrimp or less with the pumps off. If it eats, you’re fine. Wait till the feeding tentacles come out, probably 30 mins to an hour after the lights turn off. If it never extends but your other LPS does, I’d be worried
