Do Ricordias Move?

[windyridge]

One of mine split and the second half totally disappeared??:hmm5:

I dont believe they "move" but when they split they can float around in the tank which will cause them to appear in the most random places in your tank

Hmmm it split and stayed put for awhile but then appeared to move a very small distance away from it's clone and then poof! It was totally gone.

Ricordea can leave a trail of clones as they move across substrate.

If mama disappeared at trail's end she let go and floated off somewhere...

I don't have Ricordias but I have observed different species move, including common mushrooms and pulsing Xenia.

I have 3 ricordias, started with one. The mother took a walk about 3 months after first added. I thought it was interesting, until it walked next to my chalice and preceded to melt a hole in it. It took about 2 months to move 3 inches.

mine took a walk too and left a few babies in its path. Currently it is trying to slowly climb up some rock.

I think mine must be behind a rock somewhere. Someday I may see it again!

My metalic orange mushrooms will anchor to a rock leave part of itself then disconnect and float somewhere else. It's a way of reproduction.
