Proboly 4 out of the past 5 nights I come home to my carpet completely deflated with my poor clownfish trying to sleep in it. I'm not sure why the nem has been doing this all the sudden
I've had for 2 months now and this just started about a week ago. Some nights it is sleeping like normal but others it is completely shrunk. I work late most nights so I don't get to observe why this is happening. Any ideas?
 
Pictures would help. It could just be shrinking at night and not deflating. How does the mouth look(tight, open, inside out)? Have you seen it releasing any zoox(black dots)?

I'll try to get some pics to tonight when I get home. From what I can tell the mouth looks fine, he goes from about 10 inches to 2 or 3. For the past 2 months he has just throws up his edges into pillars at night. I'm not sure why he just started this. I'll get some pics
