    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I can not tell from the image, too far away.

    You should be able to tell if any tissue is let intact on the skeleton. They can really retract but it should be fairly easy to if all that is left is skeleton.

    Also the frag came off the plug. I glued it back down with some suler glue gel. But not sure which side was originally glued. All i can see is skeleton structure.

    It looks dead from here. Look in the pits, you should be able to see the polyp withdrawn in there. If you can see in the frag like someone just poked holes all in it, chances are it's dead.
