Sunny, that one came early for valentine's day. Very nice.

You might snap a few more shots of it, and save the large originals in case you decide to make a Ricordia-covered greeting card.

Talking Finally got a decent pic, still figuring out the macro, manual focus on the new cam,
Enjoy!!
The mouth just split, if you look behind the mouth you can see you can see the smaller green mouth behind it.

I got some yellow Ricordea about a month ago, they are starting to look really good in my tank.

OK, so I just found this forum, and I spent like an hour looking through this whole thread, pausing to wipe drool off the keyboard and the nose prints off of the monitor. I am stunned by the beauty of your animals, and by the skill and quality of your photography!! I am really interested in knowing if there is an 'idiots guide to ricordia propagation' anywhere?

Keeping it simple, you want a stable tank with water parameters that match natural sea water as closely as possible.

Ricordias need good lighting, and by that I mean PC, VHO or MH.

You can target feed them with pellet food, and they will grow more quickly. If you just get one and it does well, in a few months you'll have a few.

Just a couple of pics I took today. After a tank change, my new setup has only been running for a few months so don't mind the algae.

do you guys use flash when you take all these awesome pics? and do you move them closer to the front glass in order to take such cool macros?

I switch the camera to Macro, and often times press the lens against the glass to keep it steady. No flash, I've got plenty of light coming down from the MHs.

Here's one from last night:

Yes, mine are near the front on the sand. My tanks are only 12" from front to back, so most items are close enough for great macro shots.

It is called Formula One (or Two) small pellet food. Most LFS should have it.

Well have not spent a lot of time in this thread lately but heres a few new pics to help keep this great thread rolling. It helps that my ric pics are finally getting a bit better. Most of these are recent acquistions for sale, trade and propagation.

Heres a very cool Yuma rock I found locally. Dark green with green and peach mouth (not much peach showing). Very nice colony and the largest Yuma I have ever seen. Sitting in a dead flow shop tank that middle polyp was half the size of my hand and probably 4" tall. The mother of the other 14 polyps I suppose. Hard to see in pic from shape of rock but 12 polyps and 3 came off already and are in the polyp garden.

Millisec, very, very nice. In your post "Heres a few in the garden..." what are the green squiggly things? very pretty!

Also, is that a large conch in your tank? or just the shell?
