Are there any fluctuations with your water parameters? Salinity? temp?

It's not abnormal but if it happens a lot there may be a problem.

nope

Temp is always around 79-80*
Salinity is constant.
Ammonia, trates, and trites are always 0
pH is low but normal

only happens when the lights have been off. turn the lights back on and it's back to normal in about an hour.

Well, all my anemonies shrink into themselves when the lights are off. That's normal.
