If he just got chopped up a bit, give em some time to recuperate. If his foot is solid then it'll be ok. If its slimy and falling apart, then he's a goner

Wouldn't worry. Looks healthy. They're tempermental. As long as its locked down on a rock, isn't discoloring, isn't deteriorating, and isn't trailing any stringy stuff out of its 'mouth' it should be OK. I've had a few in the past that, due to minor trauma or tank fluctuations, stayed closed for weeks.
Plus, its still hosting a clown, which will feed it, so all should be groovie.

You can try spot feeding it small pieces of food like brine or mysis.

I have 2 rainbow bubble tips I got from another member when I saw them I, his tank they were closed and,shrunk but I was told they were about 4 inchs in diameter and decent size opened up. When I put them in,the tank they remained small and,shrunk up for months finally they started to reinflate they are still rather small but slowly they have gotten bigger each week
