I've never heard of that. They'll usually only flash if something is tickling, itching, or biting them.

well I have this one clown, and maybe I don’t know what "flashing" is, but for 2 months now he will "bounce" his body off stuff he will only do it once, but its been stuff like the heater, or tubing, or a smooth rock. he is also the only one that does it. He has no parasite marks. He is playful and curious, and he eats well. So got me on figuring out why he does this???
