Some sea nettles "pancake" when they are eating, retracting up all their tentacles to help move food into their stomach cavities.

This is a bay nettle I kept for around a year, swimming in brine shrimp, and you can see how it pulls up all its oral arms and tentacles into a little flat pancake as it eats. It's a pretty fast process, too.
