Might have messed up my new fungia plate

[ntropics]

So I got my delivery in from Blue Zoo, including a plate coral (fungia). For some stupid reason, I had placed it upside down, and didn't realize this for two and a half days. I flipped it back yesterday, and it is still retracted, with maybe a few itty bitty tentacles showing. Have I screwed up this coral for life, or does it have a chance to return? Anything I should do at this point to help it on its way to recovery? Thank you.

It definitely has a chance, just keep it in the shade with low flow. Some pictures would be nice.

I bet it will be ok. They are pretty resilient
