Newer Haddoni carpet light acclimation question

I have a haddoni carpet that was added almost 2 weeks ago and it's been doing fine. I have fed it twice and it took food both times. It initially deflated when I first added it to the tank and I figured the lighting was too much so I used window screen to shade over it and it improved greatly. I slowly scaled back the screens and it's in full light now; however it has been deflating at peak lighting periods. Not expelling anything just deflating. Does this sound like a sick nem that needs treatment or should I allow more time for light acclimation? I have placed some screen back over its section of the tank. What's some opinions on this?
 
I have mine under a kessil a150 about 24" down. Not too powerful by any means, but it doesnt seem to mind it. What kind of lighting are you using? They like sandy bottom and low flow. Mine seems to get bigger and smaller throughout the day, seems natural to me.
 
I have 2 maxspect razor r430r's over a 180. My other haddoni and my new gig love it and are soaking in the light. Just trying to figure the newest haddoni's problem out. When I put screen up he loves life, lol. When screen is off and full light is hitting him he hates life, lol. Does it sound like he just needs a little more time under the screen to light acclimate or does it sound like he could be sick? The deflation appears to be coordinated with the lighting cycle.
 
Sounds sick. Anemone deflating when light on isn't a good sign. If it does it daily the next few days, should consider treatment.
