A couple of months ago I added what I now believe to be a very small Ricordea Yuma to my display. It hasn't done anything since. It has not deteriorated but also has not grown at all.
My params are all pretty good and stable. It is placed near the bottom of my Reefer 250 in low flow. Any ideas why this is the only coral in my tank that is not growing really well.

From my experience mushroom growth differs between species. I have a dark green yuma with an orange mouth that grows like an absolute weed in my mixed reef (soft, lps, sps). However, my richordeas have gone from one original mushroom to a 5 mushroom colony in 2 years... Adversely, I have blue mushrooms that seem to split weekly. Take that as you will.

Your mushroom looks healthy regardless.
 
It has been a couple of month, some corals that long just to adapt to different conditions of your tank.

looks healthy and I would not worry about it.
