While moving around some wood in my tank this morning I accidentally chipped one of my apple snails who was sleeping in a crevace in a piece of wood :/

It's a small'ish chip at the edge of the snail's house opening. Guesstimated at 2 by 3 mm perhaps. A arced shape with no visible rough edges.

The snail moves around like nothing happened (pretty sure she will be fine, hence why I didn't post in emergencies section). Still feel bad for chipping her though :/

My question is, will it grow back because the chip is at the edge of new growth?
 
Yes, it should grow out (well, sort of back really), although it might take some months!
 
Thx again

Small update: I can't even identify which snail was the chipped one. So all is (very) well.
