Generally when they yums cup up or strech it means they are trying to get more light. Try putting them colser to the top of the tank.

When i wake up in the morning my yuma is cuped up too. Before my lights kick in it opens up again.
No big deal. Its normal. My mushrooms do the same thing.

bY the way it does not happen all the time like 2-3 times a week.
