BTA powerhead dilemma -- HELP PLEASE!!!

My new RBTA decided to find the powerhead tonight. I thought it was well protected and out of the way but the rose had different ideas. I cut the powerhead apart to remove the rose but it did sustain some damage. Seems "deflated" like the powerhead sucked all the water out of the anemone. It will react if touched, contracting tightly.

Does it have any chance of making it? Do I cut my loses and pull it from the tank to avoid damage to other corals? Or, just be patient and hope for the best? Another thought is that the damage seems to be mostly on one side, is it worth a try to cut it in half and see if one or both sides have a better chance? Would a clean cut heal better than the jagged damage?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am really fond of the rose and hate to lose it, simply beautiful!

Thanks,

Dave
