2 mins ago my elegance fell out of it skeleton slightly. I was holding it upside down to get some large bristle worms of the base and to also remove so hair algae. As I was holding it half of it flesh just started to dangle down out of the skeleton. I have placed it in a low flow area but am now wonder If it will regrow/reattach itself?

I've heard lps polyp bailout is a last ditch effort for a stressed coral to survive, but I have never seen this.  Maybe someone with experience will chime in.

I've never had it happen to an elegance but yes, polyp bailout is usually not a good sign. 

 

Possibly the flesh got torn from being hung upside down.

I have had a hammer that bailed out but never new that by Having the elegance upside down for a few seconds would cause that

It may or may not.

 

Elegance aren't easy corals and do suffer from disease, thats a more likely scenario.
