Had coral a couple days and all good. Today it’s spent a decent amount of time with its mouth open and 1 of its tentacles looks very weird. I haven’t had one of these before so would appreciate some advice .

Sometimes the parameter differences between the vendor's tank and your tank can stress corals, even if it looks happy at first. Are your other corals doing okay?

I suppose others will want to know your water parameters so you might want to check Alkalinity, Nitrate, Phosphate, and salinity and post them here 🙂

If you have quite high phosphate levels it's possible the coral simply needs some time to adjust.
 
It looks okay to me, but you should watch it. Usually Fungia like to be on rubble or the rocks. Also I think you should investigate further on that "tentacle" thingy, I don't think it's a tentacle
