I have an RBTA that seems nice and healthy. Great color and extension throughout the day. Towards the end of the day like clockwork it shrivels up. It's a sight to see two clowns going to town on a shriveled up anemone. When it's in a shrunken state it doesn't lose color and the foot remains attached to the rock. I've read this is normal but I'm curious if this happens to all bubble tips.
 
When I had mine before I gave it away it always seemed to have a schedule. Normally staying shrunken most of the night as well, but big and spread out during the daylight hours.

Mine do the same exact thing
 
Yeah. It's pretty common behavior for them
