Could have been damaged in shipping or just stressed. What lighting are you using and what kind of flow is it getting. May like a bit lower light and less flow.

Definitely not good but it's a new addition so keep fingers crossed. I would also try a lower flow area and see if it recovers

If you've only had this for one evening relax man, see what happens tomorrow when it has had a night to chill and adapt to this entirely new environment it has been introduced to.
