Can a ricordea move itself out of a hole? This one was on a chunk of rubble, let loose, and was on the sand for a while. About 4-4.5 inches fully spread out. Ended up drifting to this spot and slowly ended up inside this Marco rock after about a day. It’s been 2 days since, and it just seems to be working deeper into the rock.

They can move slowly but if it was forced there by current/flow I doubt it can work its way out. Does it receive any light there? If it gets some light I would probably leave it. If it’s little to no light, you’re gonna have to help it out if you want it to live.

That’s what I was afraid of. No light. I guess I get to figure out how to get him out without shredding him on sharp edges.

And the thing is, there really is NOT any current pushing him into that spot.
