Does ambulia "close" at night

[petluvr]

I have a plant that I am about 98% sure is asian ambulia. I have noticed the last few mornings when turning on the lights it is "closed" up like, then once the lights are on for a while it "opens". Is this typical of this plant?

Many plants do that, terrestrial and aquatic.

almost all stem plants do that. Close up and then start off new growth opening up and the cycle goes on

Yep. I noticed that with my own stem plants before.

Cool I had not noticed it dong this until after I added DIY CO2 so I thought maybe it had something to do with that.

My crypts will kind of close at night, and open sometime in the morning.
