some of my zoos did the same thing, but it was over a while. It didn't happen in a couple weeks, it took longer. The other I don't know anything about. I don't even know what it is. Hope someone else can help you.

Try to move it where are more light and flow. Alkalinity above 8.5 dKH can help. Check ammonia - some snail could die in the rocks.
Also, could be your tank super-clean? My capnella does very good in a dirty tank with a lot of nutrients.

In another tank I moved one of them in the corner, and this one closed (contracted) for a long time. Moved in the middle - it opened again.
