Question my anemone yawns at night... help?

I brought home my new blue carpet anemone yesterday and acclimated it over about an hour. It looked really good for having just made the 1 hour trip in a bag. The lights were on in the tank for about 7 hours before night (after acclimation). Later in the evening it had deflated, which I assumed was just due to the stress of the trip, it was also "yawning" a bit. In the morning before lights on it wzs much more shapely but still yawning, and as the lights came on it perked up rather well. It didnt have much of an apetite though. Now, at the end of the day it is deflating again. I am hoping it is due to the stress of acclimation, water conditions and a different light schedule. Is this a reasonable assumption? I have no idea how long/at what times the lights in the shop were on. It definitely looked pretty good for most of the day, but and this is only the end of about 36 hours here, so I dont want to come to any hasty conclusions. Can anyone offer me any advice?
