What does it mean when an anemone flattens out like this

[rcoapstick]

My two nems do this every so often. They start the day out normal when the lights first come on. Then as the day goes on they flatten out like in the picture below so that their mouths are exposed. The mouths have never opened, however. They are always tightly closed. They just kinda flatten out and the tentacles become less bubbly and longer along with the mouth showing. When they do this they cover more space than normal (they kinda seem larger when they do it). I researched a little bit but i couldnt find a clear answer on that karensanemone.net site.

Nitrates ~5
Salinity 1.025
Phosphates ~0



any thoughts?

+1 to this.... I used to fret over everything my RBTA did, but it always bounces back. I really wouldn't sweat anything unless it looks like the nem is seriously suffering/dying/turning itself inside-out lol
