Where to buy nice single polyps of ricordia?

[flyyyguy]

My 225 crashed and although i keep primarily sps, i was pretty fond of the ricordia patch i had going.

Im looking for one site/vendor that may be able to offer me 10-12 nice single polyps of rics so that I can begin rebuilding my reef.Im not looking ofr super exotic yumas or anything.....but at the same time i dont want regular solid colors. No problem paying $20-30 a polyp for nice multicolors, but would like to find one place who could provide me with 10 different ones.

Any ideas??

Get the number off the site and call the store and ask for chad. The man has/sells more rics than anyone i know of. TONS of variety. They also sell packs on ebay.

[flyyyguy]

Thanks.

I will call him tomorrow. It appears he just may be able to hook me up with what i want at a reasonably fair price.

there is a guy on ebay selling 10pack and 20 pack of individual ricordias. it comes out to like 10 dollars a ric usually. i think its a great deal. just search ricordia

[madadi]

i just realized the guy I'm talking about its probably the same one aquarius was talking about... great minds think alike lol

[silvers]

sealifeinc.net out of the keys have great prices and some nice rics

[flyyyguy]

Thansk for the suggestions everyone. I have sent a email to them both asking them if they can help me.

It doesnt appear that either of them have what i want in stock all at one time........but i offered a deposit for them to put it together for me. we will see what they say

any more vendor suggestions welcome

E-mail Bryan at Pure Captive. com he has quite a few Florida Ricordea and has competitive prices.

[flyyyguy]

Thanks Azurel. He doesnt appear to be selling anywehre but ebay now...or at least thats what his website says. I sent him a message anyway....will see what he says.

Chad at gateway did get back to me promptly and quoted me a reasonable price for 15 of his quote "best of the best". I just want to know a little more specifically what that means and i will probably go with it. The way it sounded he had 15 different multicolored rics in stock....

thanks for the replies everyone...keep em coming if you have any others........

[Azurel]

Yea he is doing alot of ebay stuff right now, but you can e-mail him and he will get back to you he does most of his business through personal communication........

Meh, if you are good about checking reputations ebay is good I just got a bright purple one(can't wait until it gets here!!!!!!) by just searching for ricordea. Try both spellings also. Dunno which is more "proper" but it helps

FWIW, I shop at Gateway on a regular basis. Check out his other website Zomania.com. He operates it in the back of Gateway. I enjoy wondering back there to see what else is in stock. He has tons of ricordia. I bought a couple multi colored polyps from him.

[flyyyguy]

thanks for the replies everyone. Ive had no luck. Ive copntacted everyone listed here in this thread and have either received no responses, or have been told they will get back to me but havent.

I guess what im asking is too much of a pita, although im not expecting them for a cut rate or anything. I just really want 10-12 different multicolored ones. Those generic multi packs on ebay and on the websites all include many im simply not interested in.

Anybody else?? Or anybody know of any individuals who may have the stock of singles Im looking for and want to work something out??

[currentking]

there are many local lfs near me that can get them for you. there is a place called coral reef farm that can help you. coralreeffarm.com. the pic below is what I got from there and a place called living reef local to me

let me know ifthere is anything I can do to help.

[flyyyguy]

currentking...thanks.

That ricordia patch you have going on there is very similar to what mine looked like before the crash but was in the midst of sps instead of zoas.

Do you have a contact number by chance and are they willing to ship??

edit....NM...i was blind and didnt see the link you posted....i just emailed him

Sealife inc. Have bought several rics from them (Actually waiting for delivery on another order tomorrow) Always high quality rics at good prices, and i get a freeby or two with almost every order. Top Notch!

[Brock Fluharty]

I'm also getting a ric order from sealife inc this week. 2 oddball ricordea.

[chrisstie]

I also like donavon at donavonsreef.com if you get a chance to check them out
