Traveling Xenia!

I had a small Silver Tipped Xenia in my frag tank that had attached itself to a snail shell. It had been sitting in the middle of the crushed coral bed I have on one side of my tank. The other day I put some blue leg hermit crabs in that tank, just a few.
Last night, when I got home I noticed that the Xenia had disappeared! I looked around and found it sitting under the egg crate all shrunk up and unhappy looking.
I had no clue how it got there, though that maybe it had released itself from the shell and one of the pumps had blown it there, (yeah, thats it!)
This morning it was back up on the coral??? Upon closer inspection, I saw the reason for the traveling Xenia!

 

Heheheh! Nice!

 

Very Cool I love that !!!

 

Thats another way they will take ove your tank watch it.. They ever get out of control then thats all you will ever have in the tank..

 

xenia can be a pain in the butt! thats an awesome picture!

 

i've seen that happen a couple times but its still funny to see.

 

thats a great picture!

 

you must spend alot of time just watching your tank to get a picture like that.

 

hehehehe...I had a hermit do that except the shell had mushrooms on it!

 

No, actually I noticed that piece of Xenia was missing one day and then it showed up, then it was gone again. This went one for a couple of days, then I was feeding and I saw this piece scooting across the tank at a pretty good clip and thought, no, Xenia does not move that fast! So I grabbed my camera (which is always sitting next to the tank) and took the picture's.
