New White Zombie frag from WWC in the tank (awesome coloring).

the past 24 hours I’ve noticed the disc will occasionally ‘bulge’ (best description of it) temporarily. It doesn’t last long enough for me to grab my phone and snap a picture - will try next time.

It bulges to twice it’s side, the mouth opens wide, then it just magically shrinks back to normal size.

Is this normal?

(picture is the Zoa in normal state…will update with bulging picture once I get one).

Not unusual if after a feeding or change in lighting
