Can ricordeas move?

I bought one polyp of ricordea blue from SWF.com a few weeks ago and placed it on a piece of rock at the bottom of my seahorse tank. It's doing really well and spreading/growing like crazy. Since my 14 gallon BioCube is now done cycling I ordered a Ricordea Green polyp from SWF.com last week and placed it in a nice spot in the tank. Next morning it was face down in the sand so I assumed somehow the current caught it just right and knocked it down. I then placed it on another piece of rock (a location I decided I liked better than the original spot) and this morning it's a few inches away from there. The only other thing in the tank (that I know of) is a tiny gold coral-banded shrimp) - I doubt he's moving it.
I didn't think the ricordea's had any motility of their own, especially since they are attached to a small piece of rock, but can this one be moving of it's own free will?

LOL I'll Mapquest direction to your tank and tape it to the side of my tank -- the rest is up to the shroom.

Oh Sue...I'm really not happy with you right now...
I was ever so innocently reading this post, came across what you said and went into an uncontrolable bout of laughter...need I mention I happened to have a mouth full of coffee at the time which is now streaming across my screen.
OMG, that really struck me so funny

LOL Sorry, but not really. Everyone needs as many spontaneous belly-laughs as they can get and if you are capable of those at 6:30 in the morning, more power to you! I don't even become capable of laughing till somtime after 10:00 a.m.
By the way, I peeked in the tank this morning on the way to the office and the new anemone I bought yesterday is no where to be found. I'm thinking the shroom needed a traveling partner and they are both well on their way to Jackri's place!
