Seconding a lack of specialization, actually. And campaigning for the membrane/Cilia platform.
Right now, we are VERY vulnerable and embarrassingly slow. We need to fix both of those things.
Thickened membrane is relatively cheap and effective in protecting us from basic dangers, and Cilia is our best bet at making us move faster. We'll be looking for better propulsion later, but for now it's our best bet if we want to make good use of our horn.
We can work on getting a better horn later. We'll still have 2 DNA points left over, after all. And those don't just go away when we evolve.
I was thinking, if we take grow horn again (not now, but later), does it have to be a new horn? Or could it just be that the original horn gets stronger and harder?
When you rise from your rest within the decomposing Aquapede, you feel full and refreshed. Between consuming an entire corpse as large as your body, and some purple goo on the side, you seem to have gained an unhealthy amount of excess mass and decide to split, going through the basic process of mitosis in order to create a clone of yourself.
A familiar feeling flows through your body as your DNA is scrambled in an attempt to grow new and improved useful parts. The first change that occurs begins in your nucleus, which produces a small amount of membrane layer that is quickly distributed throughout your membrane. In that package of membrane was a small amount of DNA which causes tiny hairs to sprout all over your cellular body. Not only do you feel able to swim very quickly along the ground, but you feel quite a bit tougher.
With the purple liquid gone, you feel like this Aquapede corpse has little left to offer you. Using your horn, you bore a hole in the underside of the Aquapede and attempt to squeeze yourself out, but there seems to be a problem. It seems like the entire Aquapede has been covered in dirt while you slept. Some unfriendly vibrations tell you that there are decomposers of a sort lurking nearby.

@SwiftMongoose: You will grow another horn, although I guess I can create an "Improve Horn" evolution that will make your horn(s) larger and thicker.
As your horn is already in the soil when you puncture the corpse, it doesn't take a lot of effort to dig it around in the soil until a faint blue light shines through. You attempt to squeeze yourself through to the surface and you notice that it's significantly harder to push yourself out than it was to get in. Still, after a fairly tiring shove, your form finally stretches to the size of the hole and you escape virtually unharmed.
When you leave the creature and the dirt that surrounds it you notice that the water looks particularly crimson and the bright blue light in the sky is quite a bit dimmer. Otherwise, you notice that when you breach the surface, you are just on the edge of your crater and several small creatures, a light red in color, covered in a segmented shell, and with a single long flagellum are busy scraping away at the dirt you just breached out of with a set of sharp crystal protrusions located around a hole.
The creatures dart away very quickly to easy hiding places; under rocks, beneath some of the shredded plates of your canister, and in easily available piles of dirt. Although you can't see them, you have a feeling that they're still watching you. You also notice that the Aquapede has more or less shredded your canister. It's not fit for a home anymore, but you've only seen your crater, maybe you could find a home outside of here, or maybe you could see what those little decomposers are up to.
Let's observe the decomposers for a little while. We have time, and we might even be able to make a snack out of these guys...if we're willing to give it a try.
We seem to have roughly the same origin (created by aliens rather than organically popping into existence) bu vastly different make-up and location. Explore Outside

You decide the decomposers aren't worth your time, and you decide to move on with your protolife by finally leaving the place of your birth as a species, the impact site. Utilizing your newly minted Cilia, you swim up the steep crater wall and over the upper ledge when you come upon a familiar species. The brown root-like creatures that support wide fans with black undersides still sit on the very edge of the cliff, motionless. You've already killed many of their kind and have even eaten one of the corpses, they may be angry at you, and who knows, they might even spring out and eat you.
Behind you, most of the small decomposers come out of their hiding places and begin digging out the aquapede carcass with their mouth-protrusions, but two of them ignore their neighbors and attempt to follow you up the cliffside, keeping a large distance from you or the ledge.
Floating vertical on a cliff face takes up quite a bit of endurance to not fall back downward, time to make a decision.

@SwiftMongoose; You crashed in a deep, red liquid on a sandstone plate of some kind. As far as you can tell, Agaman has a single blue star. And yes, this is a new planet, some good distance away from the other, and this is also a brand new species.
So, yes, you can say you are "underwater", however the liquid ocean you seem to be living in is red in color and you as a species has absolutely no idea exactly what it is.
In an attempt to stabalize yourself on the cliff face you attempt to burrow into the side and create a little chamber that will allow you a defensive position in case the decomposers are hostile. You gnaw and consume the sandstone, which you quickly realize has little to no nutritional value for your species, and before you even manage to make a dent, your stomach already fills to bursting and you have next to no DNA gain for it. You decide that the rock simply isn't worth it as a food.
Still, despite seeing you nearly bury them in fallen sand, the decomposers stand their good distance away, and the fan creatures still sit and remain motionless, waiting, possible watching you.
You are trapped between a rock, a mysterious fan creature, and some timid decomposers. It's time to be the predator.
Swim away and explore elsewhere. Our stomach is totally full and the decomposers and the rock are no harm. The fan creatures could be creatures like 'plants' or 'corals' - I doubt that they can move around.

I don't think we can swim, I think we have to move along the ground.
