Ricordia Yuma

[SeaBee]

So I worked at the lfs all day yesterday at the end of the day the guy said "pick out two corals" So I grabbed a Galexia (sp?) that I liked, and said, that orange one. He was like, uh uh uh, I said bag it! Now I find out its real pricey but I love it! Picture later after work.:bounce:

Wow, I just found one on the internet for $128!!! Good deal for me this time! Any ideas on placement for this guy? I have pc light.

Biff would be the best one for Ric placement.
But I cant wait to see the pics:D

With a PC light, put the ric up near the top. They are mushrooms, but they tend to prefer higher light than ordinary mushrooms do.

I love ricordeas. They are my favorite corals. They aren't $128 apiece, so I don't know where you got that price from.

Yuma ricordeas are generally $10 to $20 a polyp. Florida ricordeas are slightly more expensive than that. But none of them are anywhere near $128 apiece, although it's not uncommon to see whole rocks of them for several hundreds of dollars.

ive seen them go for 120 if they are certain colors.

Here's where I saw the price Biff. I know it's a crazy price for people who don't shop a little. But it was a reference...I have an orange one, they call it Hot Pink? Don't get that one.

Yeah, orange ricordeas are one of the more common color morphs, but they are stunning. Probably the most expensive color morphs are purples, baby blues and bubblegum pinks. Here is a great site for ricordeas!

Here's a bluury pic. I have to leave for my son's Pinwood Derby in the Boyscouts in a few. I will try to take a better picture later. It's about 1 1/2" across and it's cool looking. I will try that site later Biff, thanks.
