A really good find. I've suspected that as a possibility for a long time, but never seen it documented. I bet ostis can do that to some degree as well.
A dino species like Ostreopsis can change their tactic based on the environment like using rocks instead of absent sandbed, move closer to the surface in a poorly lit tank or use their mixotrophic skills in the absent of light or nutrition.
Your experiments are very helpful.
