    I recently purchased a helio and placed it in an open spot on the sand bed. I came home tonight and it had moved about 1" from where I placed it.

    Did it move on its own or did some fish/crab/goby move it?

    Yes they can move themselves but inflating and deflating :)

    They have a horrible track record for survival in aquaria though :(
