I'm not totally sure on Fire Bellys, but from what little I do know I think they're not fully aquatic, so being out of the water and part burrowing in the moss is not unusual.

I think I would have to dig them up to make sure they are still there.

Although they do dig, I'd have to get piece of mind that they'd not escaped or worse- been eaten by the tree frogs.
