Palmetto!
That's cool! I want my tank 50% covered in florida ricordeas! The actinic visuals will be amazing! Do you keep other coral with your ricordea? Do you keep fish with them? I want to put 4 Banded pipefish in the (soon to be) ricordea tank, do you think they might get burns? |

One other thing, what lighting is best for maintaining the colour of ricordea?
I'am running a MH (the bulb has been running for a year and will be replaced shortly!) and very soon a narva actinic, is this adequate? What conditions provoke rapid multiplication? Sorry for all the questions but you are a 'Ricordea Junkie' and you cannot buy experience! |

A small part (the most I can fit in 51kb) of my ricordia patch:

Beautiful, steveweast! MORE PICS! I love the Red Yuma!
Reaper, they do seem to color up under MH- althought they thrive under PC and VHO also. The colors seem to be brighter when they have been exposed to bright light, although if you put them in Acropora-level intensities they do not open much! The best color I have seen is under my 250-watt Radiums.

Oh, and the most rapid multiplication comes from my razor blade.
Good lighting and water quality, and occasional brine/ mysis feedings will help them thrive and reproduce.

Haha, I knew I'd find you here Darren!! Those pics look familiar (the Powerpoint). That yellow Ricordea still amazes me. Looks awesome!

They can be successfully sliced many ways- in the picture I cut the "pizza" (cap) in about 6-8 slices. I now prefer to go with slicing the cap off, then slicing it in half, right down the middle of the mouth. This way, I have two "new" mushrooms very quickly- and the leftover stem grows out into another.
A piece with part of the mouth will form a new 'shroom much more quickly.

I do have one that I plan to "slice". It has two mouth's already. Can i just slice it in the middle and not at the mouth ? Then Can I further slice the mouth into two ? The ricordia is currently on a rock. Would I need to remove it from the rock ? or can I just place it in a container with tank water, rock with ricordia and slice away ? Also, what kind of blade did you use or recommend ? Edit : This is the ricordia I plan on "slicing" : |

Can we vote Darren off the forum!! I really have to learn to take better pics. I have a good camera.

Hey Bryan, that one on the bottom left looks really nice. Did you get my PM the other day? That one ricordia I got looks awesome! Deep red with a bright green outer ring and red mouth. Do you remember the light blue looking one I got? It actually looks more pink now. Any reds show up yet?

Chet,
The one in the photo went to another member here on RC. I would love to see the photo of the red and green one. It looked good when you picked it up. I can only imagine how good it looks now. Tuesday is the day. Supposed to get Red and Dark Purple. We shall see. Give me a call and you can stop by. Bryan |

If you get them, definitely hold me some! I posted in the main forum, but is this a yuma? Pretty sure it is, but not positive.

Chet,
I can't see the photo because I am at work and they block the server you post your photos to. Can you just attach the photo the old way without directly linking? I will hold you some good ricordias for you. Bryan |
