Mushroom Anemone Question. (please respond)
Hey I've never been in this part of RC and i had a question. I just bought a Mushroom anemone and cant get him to sit still, his little sexy shrimps love him, but theres a problem. I know when putting an anemone in a new tank they float till they find a place to settle, so how can he settle if hes curled up and covering up his suction disk? do i set him in a little nook in a rock? (thats where he is now) and will he unfold himself and suck on?

think of it as a mushroom coral or polyp, its flat and has a small base, green, bubble (studdid) tips. But hes foldd over from being transported in a bag and touched so much.

well it doesnt look like a ricordia, maybe ut if so its a very small ricordia, about 2" diameter. Either way i built a little floating container in the aquarium with holes, i set some rocks under it in hopes he will attach to one so i can then move him onto one of the larger LRs.
It does have somewhat of a neon look to it, but there were others that he called "Ricordia" and i know one when i see it, ill upload a pic of it ina few (friends camera) Thanks guys!

it sounds like a large hair mushroom to me. unless its inflating itself and floating around. but i would set him in a crevice with good light and little flow and see what he does.

yeah i think thats what it is, i did set him in a crevice, he gets light and is doing good. But is there any certain technique to get ricordia to settle in? because i build a floating container with holes in it to try and get him to suck onto a rock in there but he didn't so i just set him in the crevice...
but ive seen "Ricordia Farms" and they seem to be fine, maybe the guy turned off the powerheads...

I just wedge loose mushrooms/rics into holes in the rockwork - they typically attach very quickly, leaving the foot in the hole and extending their cap along the surface of the rock.

You can try placing it against a rock and gently wrapping directly over it with some cheesecloth, tulle, or bridal veil material to prevent it from moving until it attaches.

It's hard to tell from the pic. It's not a hairy mushroom though. Can you get a clearer pic?
Also yumas are ricordea. Why does everyone think it's ricordea and yuma? It's Ricordea floridia and Ricordea yuma... |

I thought that yumas have the small bumps all around the mouth, I have rics and yumas .Rics don't have the bumps around the mouth,and my yumas are about 6'' across and rics maybe about 2 to3'' across.
