Condy Anemone sucked into powerhead

My Condy was sucked into a powerhead about two weeks ago. I had to rip it out of the powerhead. It did not have any tentacles afterward but was still alive. It stayed on the glass at the top of the tank in a shady spot. Well yesterday I noticed that the tentacles appear to be sprouting back.
Has anyone experienced this before
Can I expect it to make a full recovery?

condy's are pretty tough. If you can get it to eat your golden. Mine have been through tough times, but when they find an area that they stay for a bit, I spot feed them, and they stay for LONG periods of time. If it looks good , leave it where it is or position it where you want it and get it to eat. I use an eye dropper with some brine or mysis. Once they eat they tend to stay. IMO
