acclimated BTA?

[an411]

I drip acclimated my BTA today after floating the bag around for a while to get the temp the same as the tank. I drip acclimated for about an hour and a half and once I put him in the tank he closed up i assume that this is not normal behavior or is it when introducing a anemone to a new tank? Also if not is there anything that I can do?

they close up, they also deflate when equalizing or expelling waste

it will probably do it frequently as it adjusts to the tank

Thanks Hogben that is what I assumed what was going on but this is my anemone so I am not to familiar with there behaviors quite yet
