Malu nem keeps moving it's foot

Hi all, I might just be paranoid after having a failure with a LTA, but I replaced it with a Malu from my local shop (as aposed to Ebay were the LTA came from).

The Malu has been doing really well, I've had it maybe 3 weeks now (the LTA lasted 6 days), but it seems to keep moving its foot around. It's not moving location. It's under an over hang of LR just off the sand bed. The nem looks happy and hleathy, and has no sign of moving. The LTA looked great for 2 days then went down hill quickly and may have been over loved by my tomato clown.

 

I guess I want to know if it's normal for a nem to shift it's foot alot and if I should do anything to help it out if it's having trouble.

Sorry bad pic but sort of shows what I mean about the over hang.

Nem under natural light, it's still shrinking up a little under my LEDs (I have backed them off) but it doesn't seem unhappy with the tank lights on, it's just bigger overnight and before the lights reach peak.

 

I know it's moving it's foot as you can see under the over hang from the side the photos taken from. Should I try and cover up where you can see in to the foot? I know that malu's like to bury their foot, maybe it's feeling inscure?
