Do you know what basic type of coral it is? LPS, SPS Of course there are many factors other than what species it is, like the original cause of why it was retracting... could have been too much flow, lighting, or a water chemistry problem.. of course test all of the parameters to ensure they are within acceptable ranges and observe the specimen.. Pics would help and a idea of what system you are running.. i.e. Lighting, flow
