Mine does every night.  Mine also has a few sweeper tentacles that extend out a lot farther than the other ones.  Pretty cool to watch.

An hour or so after the lights go out and everything is dark is the best time to view the tank.  It's also a good time to target feed some of your LPS.   Get a flashlight with a red filter.  You'll see all kinds of stuff.  The red filter softens the light from the flashlight.....
