Rock flower swell

[CCMoto]

So I have my first 2 rock flowers and they've been doing amazing. But today during feeding my bigger of the two swelled up like a balloon ready to burst and then relaxed back to almost normal and proceeded to do it a few more times. Anyone know whts going on with it?

They do this generally when feeding and when irritated which may be the sand
Assure moderate light and water flow

Is that food on/ near him? This pose looks familiar. But I’ve only seen it once and mine were spawning.

In a 3gal pico with a kessil a80 and an upgraded return pump and random flow gen. The bigger ones been in here and happy for quite awhile now and the little one a couple weeks. Just weird seeing it do that

Looks like it just ate or its popping.
