Monsters cannot manually change their battle position after attacking, but Medusa Worm has an Ignition Effect which flips it face down. You can flip summon Medusa Worm in main phase 1 to get the effect, then attack in the battle phase, then activate the Ignition Effect in main phase 2 to flip it down again.

What is the difference between flip and flip summon in yu-gi-oh?
If a face down monster is attacked, then it is flipped for damage calculation, if you flip summon, you do it by choice during your turn. Flip counts for both. For Flip cards like penguin soldier, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is activated. For Flip Summon cards like swarm of scarabs, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is NOT activated. Both types are activated if you flip summon it. (Also flip activates after damage calculation if you are attacked, so if penguin soldier would be destroyed by the attack, he can't return himself to your hand because he is already destroyed)

No, a 'Flip Summon' is a manual change from face-down defence to face-up attack position in one of your main phases.

Therefore regular Flip Effect monsters like Night Assailant will trigger from being attacked, but monsters that require Flip Summoning like Guardian Sphinx will not.

What is a 'flip' in Yu Gi Oh?
A 'flip' happens when a monster goes from being face-down to face-up. This should not be confused with a Flip Summon which is a more specific kind of flip. So a flip can happen when. 1 - A player manually changes the monster from face-down defence to face-up attack, this is called a Flip Summon and is also a flip. 2 - A face-down monster will flip when attacked. 3 - Some card effects can flip monsters. Swords of Revealing Light is one. Note that some things trigger from being flipped, and some trigger from being Flip Summoned. The former will trigger from any of the above, the latter triggers only from the first, it will activate if attacked or flipped by an effect.
