Your light might be brighter than the tank they came from. I have several ricordea Florida and ricordea yumas, and have seen this behavior after moving them. Also, both types of ricordea will close up from time to time for no apparent reason, just to reopen later.

Ok, thanx. That makes sence. Indeed they came from a much darker tank at the local fish store. They are open now but about half of the size they were.
