A little over a month ago Jaymostella gave me some small pieces of corals, including the piece of nepthia tree (I think) near the bottom of this rock. I had dropped it into a hole in my 10 gallon and couldn't retrieve it. About a week ago it reappeared on the sand bed as if by magic and I moved it to the 2 gallon and propped it between two small rocks.
That lasted about a day and then it was laying on the sand bed next to the large rock (in the foreground of the picture). Two days ago I changed about 1.5 liters of water and yesterday, the corals at the top had closed up so tight I thought I had killed them somehow.
Now, I come home today and find the big, rubbery piece of nepthia tree jammed in a hole a good 2 inches above the sand with its narrow colored end sticking out the other side (just barely visible). (The majority of the piece is mostly white and I was guessing near death.)
Do these things move themselves that much? The only other possibilities I can think of are that the pom pom crab or a small hermit dragged it up there. There is not much current in that area. Certainly not enough for it to catch a wave up into that hole.
