Happy 4th everyone! I just purchased an Elegance Coral yesterday from my LFS and have placed it in my tank on the sand bed in an area where it has moderate flow and moderate/low light (it's shadowed a bit from the aquascape on the top). Since we've had in the tank yesterday, it's opened/contracted a number of times and this morning it looks like it's mouths were inside/out protruding from the coral. A few hours later, everything was back to normal but the coral seems to be a little "bunched up" from what I normally see and saw of this specimen in the LFS. Is there a better placement I should consider and any worries I should have from the items described above?

They tend to inflate and change appearances often (at least mine does). Try feeding it some mysis. BTW, the placement looks perfect.
 
Mine is in moderate flow and moderate light. They are very active eaters so I feed mine at least twice a week. Has been opening great and colors are amazing.
