I had one very nice sized SPS frag (a green birdsnest, that i recieved from sphelps) take a terrible beating on the way home in my truck (a Superduty 4x4 with very rigid suspension). I was horrified. It lost 50% of its tissue in 24 hours (it had lost some tissue on the way home, which was in the bottom of the bag).
I dipped it in Reef Dip (according to the instructions) as it was all I had, and put it back in my tank. There was some tissue regrowth, but some of the skeleton started getting algae growth. I then dipped it in a solution of 1:10 of H202:tank water for ten minutes.
Every single bit of tissue regrew, and it has doubled in size.
While I certainly didn't take the "textbook" approach, if the situation was dire, I would do it again.
