Help with Green Bubble Tip

[supertank]

I have had a green bubble tip anem in my 75g tank for about two weeks now, and he seems to be doing fine. He eats well, and has gret color. However, there is one strange thing about him that I was wondering if anyone else has experienced.
Every day he has a spot on the rocks that he will hang out in and open all the way up, but at night, he will slowly move about 2 or 3 inches to a nearby cave hiding spot, and completely close up. Is this normal for this type of anem?
I run T5 HO's and all my params check good.
Thanks.

I have three bubble tips, they all do this. Out all day, and then climb to the underside of the rock and close up at night. The RBTA seems to stay more open than the greens, but all three do it. I've read others having similar issues, I think it's pretty normal.

Thank you for the reply. I wasn't too terribly worried about it, but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something wrong.

yup nothing wrong with it, my Rose has recently stopped this habit.. but it seems to be getting ready for a split and instead of having its foot wedged under the rock and rising out during the day it has it planted firmly on two rocks and seems to be getting fatter at the base *shrug*. Count yourself lucky that yours found a happy home in the two weeks, I ended up having to remove mine from the glass and put it on a rock! Before that it seemed like it was doing horrible and acting like it wasn't going to make it long (shriveled up most of the day for a week)
