Reefgeester, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! and I am jealous. I will get one some day!!! That brings a question to mind. I have been thinking I wonder why we have not seen more of the hot pink? I mean, do they shrivel up and die like westpat's??? Or are we just now finding them? I hate to spend 100+ dollars and watch it waste away. Please keep us posted with the outcome of yours.
Thanks for sharing!!

I think a lot of the survival rate of the Yuma/Ricordia has to do with fragging it or trying to remove it from a rock, rather than chipping of the rock people tend to try to peel it off which damaging the foot resulting in infection(s) and then melting away.
As far as cost goes Ricordia tends to split less often if they even do vs. a Rose bubble tip anemone. And of course everyone has green, blues, beige, browns making red/pink in more of demand and as things go as far as price it's demand and suppplies.

My new favorite from my personal collection:

(or will be once it opens fully! It will be over 4" wide! To give you some idea, the small ones to the right are larger than a nickel!)



My new Purple and FIRE! yuma! (Like the one in my sig from long ago!)

[Sallylightfoot]

There are actually 10 polyps on this rock.. 2 larger ones (2"-2.5"), 4 medium sized ones (1"-1.5") and two little ones (<1").. I gave them $45 for it..

Awesome piece... Gotta love the occasional clueless pet shop piece. They look almost identical to the Yuma pair I found online at $69. You got quite a steal...

One of my new ricordias. The color is off as I underexposed the picture by a half stop and it was taken under a blue moonlight. Still a cool picture though

Cool Ric Darren... but where the hell is the fire for sale. Whats the holdup over there. Ric junkie needs a fix LOL.

Plus... in your second pic whats that big Yuma on the right with the yellows??? I want one (actually how about that one?). Way cool and looks way nicer than the fires in that pic. Is it the same as those three babies below it?

[silverado_4x4]

Can anyone identify exactly what these are?

Make sure to hit "view full size" to see it alot better

Probably green or teal / probably purple (washed out in pic) yuma. Kind of hard to make out the ring around the mouth but they look too big for florida.

[Azurel]

Those are Yuma for sure....

I took some pictures of Tiger Shark's tank this week, and this is a preview of some of the beauties in the gallery:

[ivyvine1]

Those are gorgeous !!

[millisec]

Heres one I picked uplast weekend... This is a strange one that sometimes looks a little like reefkeeper1's second pic... I'm calling it burnt orange but sometimes it looks more red and its very different from my neon orange/purple. Reddish, orange who knows LOL Cool anyway.

[beerman0831]

I do mean the yellow 1

[millisec]

Those yellows are way cool and I would love to get one myself. Yellow yuma?? They look like yellow florida to me (and the rest).

[beerman0831]

Ooopppppppppss I think you are right.Sorry

[jgoelz]

It's amazing that I didn't see anyone mention Mucho's Reef tank of the month for August ( or did they and I just skimmed past it)

If not here is the link again.

He has some awesome colonies

[Azurel]

Yea Your right he has some sweet shrooms$zoos, beautiful reef tank....

[millisec]

Its funny you should mention his tank... Don't know whether to thank or curse him. I was getting ready to move several months ago and thinking on what I was gonna do with the new tank I was planning on putting together. Then I saw that damn article. I've kept a variety corals mostly soft and LPS over the years, including zoo and some fl ric, but that article set me off. The first visit to Dr Mac set me back about $430. Now I can't stop buying zoo and ric... Hi my names Jim, I'm a reefaholic with an insatiable taste for Ric and Zoo

[Azurel]

You ain't the only one, my wife keeps asking me are you going to have a tank with on ric's(florida&Yumas) how boring.....ohh well guess she dont see the facination...

[Bone'Collector]

Darren, wow those Riccordia are AMAZING!!!!!!
