Superstitious corals?

So, I didn't have a lot to do this afternoon and decided to take a look at my light fixture. I want to replace the fan 'cuz it's kinda loud, and I have a few really quiet computer fans laying around w/ which I could replace it.
I took the fixture off the tank, effectively creating a solar eclipse, and my Cloves, GSP and Common Stars completely retracted.
Light's back on the tank and 20 mins later, they're all out and happy again.
I thought this was interesting behaviour though, considering the polyps don't normally retract under moonlight and the tank didn't even get that dark.

When my day lights go out mine will hide for about 5-10 minutes then come back out. When the evening lights go out and my moon light comes on they stay out. Its weird
