Got a new RBTA on Wednesday. I placed it in a nice hole in my rock in one of the lower lighted areas of the tank. It seems happy there, no movement. It also seems to fully expand everyday and appears healthy. The only issue is that during light rampdown at night it shrivels up small and releases some zooxanthellae. Should I be concerned? Is it just adjusting to its new environment?

It is still adjusting.
 
At night they withdraw, and release their waste. If you want them to grow and split, feed them Silversides.
