tear in bubble coral

What happens if a green bubble coral has a tear in it, I believe I have spotted a tear in the white part beneath the bubbles. I believe a fish pecked it trying to steal food during feeding time. Does it release toxins, die totally or partially? Is there any treatment?

To the best of my knowledge, from what I have seen, it just regrows another bubble and more flesh at the area that was somehow hurt.
That is IF it is a bubble coral. The only coral I have ever seen where it will demolish the whole coral, is gonioporas. Usually if even a tiny bit is harmed, the rest of the coral follows.
Edit: You mentioned toxins? Is there some sort of problem that the tank is having now since you noticed this section missing?
 
Nope, I saw the fish grab the food which I am pretty sure tore teh flesh part. I just know some things send out toxins when they are sick or dying. thank you.
