Yes most corals shrink at night or lights out. here are some pic's to show the difference. my yellow will bend and twist but my toadstool only changed shape once right after I put it in the tank. I think they bend to get the light the way they want it.

yes it will be ok,,i call toadstools the "moody" corals ,,cause if one little thing changes they close right up. it might even shed it skin befor it gets used to its new home,,just place it and let it be.
