My rotala looks like it had one too many beers!

Far left & closest upper right stems have grown in an almost 360° spiral! The others have a normal medium tilt towards the light. Leaf size is consistent & at regular intervals. PAR is pretty low. (25-45)  

My theory is that they go for the "sunrise" ramp low light (separate fixture towards front of tank) & adjacent window light and then turn towards the main light (middle of tank) when it's on. 

So far, i haven't seen any deficiency info that would explain this consistent growth with normal size/color leaves. I don't really mind if it's still healthy.

Anybody have a similar experience?

I think you are right, my terrestrial plants have done that before

plants will grow towards light. perfect example i have several 10-15yr old maple trees in my front yard, used to have a giant, and i mean giant maple that shaded all of them. the big one was cut down due to rot, but with it gone you can see the other tree's all lean away from where the big one was.
