Mine broke off the top half of his jaw (the lower part of his skull, I suppose). It either happened in my tank on day 1 or when he was caught at the LFS.
Anyway, it has never grown back so now he looks like he has an underbite. 2 years now. I hope the damage is not so bad that he can still eat and survive...but it won't grow back. Once the loose piece of bone falls off, the skin grows back over the area.
You may end up with a short-nose wrasse.
