Normal Brain Behavour?

I got a green Open Brain coral about two weeks ago, and it looks great, but I'm not sure if it's acting normally...

When I bought it it was kindof inflated alot, but now it's more flat. Wider than it was when I bought it, but not as tall. Is this normal

Also, I haven't seen it's tentacles at all, is the light it's receiving giving it enough food?

Thanks for the help, heres $5 for your reply lol

The tenticles only come out when it is dark. I get a good view of mine with a single LED moon light after the main lights have been off for 30 minutes or so. They do get most of their nutritional needs through photosynthesis and do not need to eat solid foods, though I understand they grow faster if they get some from time to time. I am not sure about why yours does not seem to be inflating as much, though if I had to guess I would begin by looking at the light it is getting. What kind of lights do you have, and how far down in the tank is the brain?

It's in a standard 90ga tank, on the bottom in an big open area. My lights are...
(2) 110watt super actinic VHO (48")
(2) 110watt Actinic Blue VHO (48")

The light gets to the bottom, it seems to be recieving good lighting.

It's inflated today, but was flat earlier. I tried feeding it some silversides, but it didn't take it. I may get some LED moon lights for my tank OR, just steal the ones out of my 12ga I abandond since I got the 90ga lol.
