Does ricordea move?

I keep reading it's a mushroom and that it like low end of flow. Normally placed on a rock somewhere.

I have two small ones. The first day I got one on a frag; it fell off so I re glued it. the other one was given to me by a friend funny to say I had just bought one (palm to the face).

However, the one given to me I put on the bottom sand and every day this week it moved in and out of this cave. In the morning when I wake up it's out In the open and by night it's back inside like clock work.

Mushrooms don't move...Can you post a pic of it? Also, ricordeas do expand and contract like a LPS would, so maybe when it's expanded it looks like it comes out of the cave, and when it contracts, it looks as if it goes back in.

I circled the cave . it's a good distance away. and it is like clock work that it's in and out of this cave daily.

Also another pic of the other one just cause I like the pic.

What you are seeing is probably it flowing to a different spot because of current. You should glue it down before it flows to a spot that you can't see. Ricordea also don't drop babies. They split instead. If it starts to bleach, then it's really stress and it will simply disintegrate
