Nah, everything else is fine. I just think the stress from moving and the bulb was the culprit. Most of those were already stressed and fighting for their life before the move.

That really sucks I hope I never have a die-off like that. I'd probably be freaking out. My rics are my babies lol

Well, it seems like a lot, but because they were already struggling, I suspected them to either flourish or fail. Now, if my new ones died off, I would be worried. It's really just a coincidence that they all happened to die off roughly the same time.

Good news. It turns out that I only truely lost two Rics. Unfortunately my Pink/Green Yuma is 100% lost (RIP my little yuma), and the unknown one is definitely gone. On the other hand, I found TWO of the orangish peach ones that jumped ship. They had been attached to some netting that I glued down to a plug. They forced their way through the netting and split. I found the Blue R. florida that was hit by a rock. Lastly, my Blue Yuma still has some tissue left on the frag disk. You just never know if it will recover.
Also, the "Superman Yuma" has some extra tissue on the side of the piece of rubble it is on. It looks like it will grow into a new one!

I'm still on a quest to find my first pink yuma, so you don't get that much sympathy from me... pink yuma killer!
Kidding aside, that really does suck. Not just for you, but for all of us that want a pink yuma and are hoping people can start propagating them at great numbers so they can be made less scarce.

I've seen them a few times, but I simply can't afford them right now
I'm hoping to find some reasonably priced ones at MACNA, but the trick there will be getting it home healthy, considering I'm staying there for the whole conference.

I've been lucky enough to have some very good retailers around my area that are willing to work with people. I definitely don't have the money to purchase one myself, but a lot of the retailers are able to find not-so-healthy stock of amazing animals at a great price. FWIW, out of all four, only one of them was a true Hot Pink Yuma like Blazer88's. The rest were close knock offs. I've had 1 True Pink Yuma, 1 Pinkish with a Red Skirt Yuma, the Green/Pink Yuma you've seen, and one that I can't remember. I think it might have been a bleached red one. On the other hand, this new Superman Yuma has started looking better and better as the days go by. I have some better pictures of it, but they're at home.

Okay, I have some more pictures now. You'll like these alot!
Here is that Neon Green R. yuma again The Purple/Green R. yuma is coloring up nicely. It looks to have olive green vesicles, but a deep purple body. You don't see the body often though Lastly, here is the Superman Yuma. The first picture is a closeup of the second picture so you can get a general idea about color. The second picture shows more or less how it looks in the aquarium. I'm still extremely pleased about this guy
