( been looking for these for a long time)

[kiknchikn]

I'm envious! I'd love to have some yellow rics. Keep me in mind if you ever decide you have too many

Congrats on your find.

[goda]

im going to post pics asap

i knew a guy with a tank full of these

he ended up selling his set up and sadly i found out about the offer later.... ( would have been worth it based on the ammount he had... ) ever since then this has been on my want list

[chelskisw6]

blah! where are those pics!

[goda]

in my camera... i lost the upload cord... AGAIN



i love yellow rics. these arnt hte nicest ones ever.. but htey are good enough to satisfy my yellow lust

[kiknchikn]

The wonderful thing about rics is that they don't have to be the perfect specimin to be beautiful... heck even the "ugly" colored brown ones are!

[smp]

so where's the pics?

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

yeah, this thread is worthless without piks!

[goda]

gonna pick up the picts tommorrow.. had to use an old film camera lol

[goda]

they didnt come out to well but you get hte idea

[goda]

and yes i see the algae. iv been heavily feeding because some of my rics were loosing color ^^ but its startingto come back ( my blues were really light blue)
and the real color of the rics is somewhere between pic one and two

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

very nice...thanx for sharing!

[kiknchikn]

I like them... a lot

Let me know if you frag any

[goda]

btw are these yumas? they almost look like one because of the wat teh tenticals dont cover the center area heavily

[kiknchikn]

Hard to tell from the pics but they look like yumas to me, as they appear to have tentacles on their mouths.

[goda]

yeah. im supprised.. we usualy dont get yumas in florida..a nd when we do.. they are brown

you can see more of my rics in teh background along with my suncoral.

you can see the coral already splitting. that long streach of coral. has three mouths on it.. i already had to remove some polyps because they were on the underside of the rock... no clue how they did that !

[kiknchikn]

That's great! Maybe its a sign you should share them with others?

[smp]

Those are kind of bleached FYI.

[goda]

they dont look bleached its my camera. look at any pic .. non of them have true color

anyways. i brought some in to an lfs and under the 2 year old PC they look slight orange but under the new outerorbit they look yellow... go figure ( but everything else looks normal under the pc.. eitehrway they looked great

[paininthewrasse]

I agree they look bleached.

[goda]

i agree to
in the picts. they do look bleched. if you would like to buy me a new camera go ahead oh please do id love to get some half decent tank shots

[kiknchikn]

Lol... wouldn't we ALL like a better camera =P

Actually, in my case my camera is fine I guess, I just need a macro lens. Argh there's always something else!

[bluenassarius]

yeah those suckers look bleached.

[Tallinu]

They look bleached because they are bleached. No amount of picture clarity is going to change the milky white translucence of both the pedal and oral discs. The pale colors on the berries is normal when bleached. The good news is they seem to be in good shape. A little TLC and some feeding to make up for the loss of Xooxanthellae should bring them back around in no time. As to their color it's very possible they are yellow / orange. Keep us updated with pics.

ill take some picts with a beter camera soon.


its a combo of my lighting and camera that makes them look bleached.. even to the eye they look pale in my tank when compared tot he outerorbit i put a few under at work.
