Im with Pwny

some kind of nem. It moves. Rics dont move per say, they just will release and float away if they dont like their environment.

I'm assuming this is moving, its staying on the same rock but has been in a different spot each of the past 3 days..... if it helps any it closes up when I poke it.

when I say it closes, it does the same thing polyps do when something touches them.
