BTA night time activity question

Is it normal for bta's to close in on itself at night?

It's like it draws inside it's outerlevel of skin and sucks it's tentacles inside.

Is that normal behavior?

Could you get a picture?

It is normal for them to get smaller after the lights are out -- but, it what you are describing might not be normal, but don't want to say anything until I see a picture.

How long have you had it?
What lights do you have?

like said its normal for them to shrink up at night, i just confirmed this by checking my rbta. Ive seen what you are talking about but it was never a everynight sort of deal.

How does it look during the day?
