Does your Haddoni ever purge or deflate?

[adtravels]

Mine does about evey two weeks it begins to scrunch up in on area of the oral disc which then spreads throughout the disc and it remains scrunched up for about a day and then fully inflates for two weeks. It seems to do it after heavy feeding, I feed it sushi tuna and squid about and inch in size twice to three times a week.
I have it in a 50 gallon with a 150 watt mh and 150 watts of 50/50 and actinic pc's

I read that some peoples haddons never deflate whats your experience please.
Thanks for the comments in Advance.
