Nice find Chickenpie! I don't know under what bulb that picture was taken, but it sure does look like a red/blue yuma. You have to be cautious, because occasionally vendors will photograph items under deceptive lighting. Lighting can greatly alter the appearance of certain corals. If a coral is photographed under actinics, or 20 k halides, it tends to make the colors more vibrant.

I certainly am not implying that your yuma was photographed in such a manner, but just a helpful hint.

I saw a yuma like this one the other day on www.reefscience.com
They had two red/blue yumas for sale, both quickly sold out. You didn't happen to purchase one of those did you? Gotta love reefscience, their livestock is beautiful, but runs on the pricey side.

Oh wait, I see you're located in Singapore chickenpie, probably to far for reefscience to ship. However, the one in your picture does look strikingly similar to the two reefscience just sold.

Very cool chickenpie! An incredible price might I add. Here in the states vendors will charge anywhere from 50-100 dollars for a red. Sometimes even more if they want to gouge.

Hey ChickenPie. If you are looking for some ricordia florida, check out Marine Life Hobbielist in Singapore. Tell Henry I sent you. I happen to know that he just got in around 100 very nice ricordia.

That looks like a nice yuma. Good purchase.
