Too early...nothing unusual here...mine does this every night and once a month or so it refuses to fully extend for a day or two...

Very nice coral by the way.
 
Some do struggle after shipments and they do have high mortality rate on the initial days, at least noted more for the indo ones.
I would make sure it's in medium flow, and low medium light first. Maybe try to feed it to see if it feeds.
Good luck with it they're very nice corals.
