HELP.. is this normal for a RBTA or is it dying?

[is350jonny]

Yesterday when i left the house.. it seemed very healthy.. fully opened and inflated. Didnt come home last night and just got back to the house.. tank lights are on a timer system.. so lights were off when i got back.. glanced at the tank.. didnt see the RBTA.. so i was thinking.. oh crap.. it detached and moved somewhere else.. hope it didnt sting any of my other corals.. looked around and couldnt find it.. so turned the lights back on and went back to his original rock to take a look and saw this..

is this normal or is it dying?

yesterday...

It looks like it is ok,mine will deflate at night and when lights come back on they open back up.When they poop they will deflate and look bad.

i dont have a pic of mine, but it is at the back of the tank hanging upsidedown and its tenticals are deflated and limp... he keeps moving around the tank he was up front last night and in the sand yesterday morning. How/what do i feed him?Does it soung like he is dying?
