Is this green button coral opening properly?

Hey guys, I have recently introduced (around 5 days ago) an acanthopyllia deshayesiana (button/meat coral) to my tank, just curious to know if it is actually opening properly when feeding?

 

This is a pic of it after a target feeding of lobster eggs this morning, but I haven't been able to find much info online about what they should look like open, and I keep telling myself it looked different at my LPS!

 

Any future general care advice would be appreciated :)

Looks fine. My scoly does that when I feed rods frozen and other random times. Normally retracts and looks normal again once it feels it wont get any more food.

Thanks for the help guys, introduced an open brain coral today, cool yellow and green colouring, has opened up in a very similar manner after about an hour in the tank! Good signs :)

 

UPDATE

 

This is a picture of said coral in case any one wanted to see, has been doing well and opening since being introduced :)
