nah id say your fine i also have a gbta and mine will do this sometime as well, mostly it will shrink up like that to fit inbetween the hes on, depending on if it wants to face the fron or back of the tank. as long as it east when you feed it a couple times a week you should be fine.

As everyone said BTA do that from time to time in order to expel waste/take in new system water.
