ricordea behavior

[dan-in-den]

Every once in a while I'll see all of my ricordea "stretching" like this. They might stay this way for an hour or two and then go back to lying flat on the rock again.
Anything to be concerned about?
Thanks,

Nope, completely normal

Mine do that all the time. The "baby" shrinks up sometimes so small I think it has come off the rock. they'll also do it when I feed them.

Thanks for the info.
I fed one a piece of hermit crab once and it slowly absorbed it and then, over a period of a few minutes, it stretched up until all I could see was the shaft and then it "spit" out the crab and went back down to normal. Reminded me of an old 1950's B rated horror movie
