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)
How does a face-down Attack position monster work?
A monster in face-down Attack position is unable to declare attacks. It can be flipped or Flip Summoned, both actions will switch it into face-up Attack position. It can also have its battle position change by the controlling player, switching it from face-down Attack position to face-down Defence position.
Is a face-down monster flipped face-up if targeted by a card effect that destroys 1 monster?
No. A monster that is face down does not 'flip' when destroyed by a card effect, and will not trigger any flip effects.
How does Medusa Worm the Yu-Gi-Oh card work?
oh, this is one of my favorite cards! if you flip summon it, you can destroy one monster, then you can flip it face down again so you can do it again next turn. its realy good in an earth deck like mine! but i is not like man eater bug. you have to flip it, not have a monster attack it. its not a flip effect monster. -lone wolf
Can a non flip effect monster activate its effect if it is face down?
No monster can activiate its effect while face down unless it specifically says so; only face up.If you are referring to monsters who say their effects activate when Flip Summoned, that means you must flip the monster up manually during your Main Phase after it is set face down. A monster fliped face up from an attack does not count as a Flip Summon.
