This coral has been in the tank a little over an hour. All of the others have opened and are happy except this one but my mom doesn’t remember what it is. Any help?

Looks like a montipora of some kind.
 
Cyphastrea doesnt like high light or high flow. Put it lower or on the sand bed to let it acclimate.

Lighter color means its getting close to too much light, darker means can use more light. I like mine with a dark pink color, so I placed it as such. Flow....just not too much...this isn't like a normal sps..
 


At 11 secs, if you pause, you can see mine in between the candies and hammers on the left.

Got me then. Either way, I know it doesn't like high light or alot of flow!
Its such a hardy coral in my tank, high light and high flow make it turn a different color and different growth.
Grows like a weed in my tank regardless.

It only started to receed when i had a crash event that wiped out my bacteria colonies.
 
I think you also have the dreaded gsp as well
