That is just beautiful. If you have an extra polyp that you wouldn't mind parting with, please let me know. By the way, your screen name isn't a reference to Bob the hockey goon is it?

[tyler]

wow reefnewbie! the colors on all of those are simply amazing.

the castles: that's a nice rock. what do you consider a bargain? around here, the lfs charges about 25 for a little frag and a hell of a lot more than that for a rock. at a club auction, a small rock with just 3 or 4 polyps whent for 30 bucks.

[chet-tonja]

Here's one of my favorite mushrooms. I have a rock with around 10-15 of these.

First time using digital camera and first time trying to post pictures, so I'n not overly confident that this will work...

[tyler]

sweet jesus palmetto...a single rock from your "sump" is better looking than my entire tank.

[toberdick]

Doh! So close. Anyone know what I did wrong? Why does the message show the link to the hosted site rather than the image itself?

-Todd

[dc]

LOL, you can still click on them to see. Nice. They have to be in jpeg I believe. Then you click on the img button and add the link.

[Konadog]

Are you clicking on the IMG first? Then insert the link in the box that open, then click OK!

[KillerReef]

on your site, right click on the image and go to properties, then copy the info under "address". Paste that into the dialog box that comes up when you click img here.

HTH

[Palmetto]

Click the IMG button, then paste url into the box and hit ok- it will look like this without the quotes:

"http://hyperphoto.photoloft.com/view/exportImage.asp?s=cano&i=10475801&w=800&h=600 "

...and like this when posted:

I experimented with your URL, and it looks like it does not allow external linking. You may have done it correctly!

[Zepplin]

Hi guys all pictures are beautiful!!!

I am glad for the new forum, the mushroom lover that I am.

Here is a picture of a couple of unusual specimens. I've been told they are "Indonesian Ricordias"? I was wondering if I could get that confirmed. They are fairly large mushrooms with a beautiful texture, but don't look much like the unusual florida/yuma ricordias.

What do you think guys...

http://www.thenerdary.com/images/mushroom%20-%20orange%20fluffy.jpg

-Meg

[melev]

Beautiful Meg. Very unusual.

Hey, can you PM me about your presentation? I never read any follow up on that topic.

Marc

[Zepplin]

Actually, I would PM you, but the 1st section of the presentation (Ethics and personal responsibility concerning fish) ran so long my presentation, as well as Dan's got postponed until the April meeting. It was overly optimistic to try and cover all 3 topics in one meeting. It was a very impassioned meeting though, many differing opinions. I will PM you with the results after our April meeting! Thanks for taking such an interest!

Sorry to get off topic everyone. Any ideas about my mystery mushrooms?

-Meg

[stereomandan]

I'm beginning to just love ricordias. Here's my pink ricordia that I'm trying to grow out to frag. I'm feeding him frozen prime reef. Hopefully it will help with growth. Seems to be doing fairly well so far. I only have a small single blue polyp, and a single tan polyp as well.

Y'all have taken some awesome photos of your 'Shrooms, I've got some nice pictures of 'shrooms from my tank, I am just so computer ignorant as far as knowing how to reduce or link the pics to post, I don't even know where to start! (I could send someone an email with picture attachments, if someone felt like messing with posting my pictures, wink wink, nudge, nudge!!) Very cool thread. GREAT PHOTOS!

[Bryan Thompson]

Storm. When you post go below the box you type in and you will see a box that says attach file. Click the browse button and find your photo in your computer and that is it.

[Stormbringer22]

I've got a Nikon 885 cool-pix camera, do you photographers think I should use the basic setting, as opposed to the fine mode, then for the image size, utilize the vga setting? Are .jpg extensions the smallest, or, .gif or ??? (maybe I should stop playing with the computer & pay more attention to the camera!!)

[TIGER SHARK]

Hey Bryan Thompson, that post with your pics on page 3... how big of a tank is the second picture with all the ricordia? You have a ton of them and it just looks like a huge tank you've got there!

[Bryan Thompson]

That is a holding tank in my fish room. It is 6' wide 2.5' front to back and 20" deep. It has a 5" sand bed in it. The pipes on the right are for a platform I rest my acropora on so it does not get dead spots from sitting on the sand.

Here is a shot of my main tank. It is a 265 built into the wall.

Great tank Bryan. I don't believe I've seen that one on RC before. Glad you took the time to post it, even it is in the mushroom thread. ;)

And those recordias that someone else posted were from you? Great colors! Are recordias the kind of shroom that prefer MH?

[billsreef]

This is a rare color morph of Discosoma carlgreni that was send to me as Ricordea. May not of been what I ordered, but still quite cool :D

http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/517/32red_ricordea.jpg

[Bryan Thompson]

The main tank is a 265 perfecto with custom overflows. I basically built the basement around it. The rest of my tanks are all custom built.

A red mushroom like the one above is being sold on Ebay right now as a red ricordia. It is NOT a red ricordia. It is from Florida though.

Hi Doomweasle,

those are very nice shrooms and camera shot...

what is your camera specs?

lighting? additives? and tank size?

[DoomWeasel]

Thanks Katchupoy!

I have an 18g tank with 32 watt pc's. I don't really dose additives that often. Maybe once a month or so. However, I do add bio plankton probably 4-5 times a week. These mushrooms grow incredibly though and in great colors. The one that is in the lower left was actually a hitchhiker that I have since fragged a bunch of times.

As for the camera, I have a sony DSC-F505. It is only a 2.1 megapixel but it has a 5x optical zoom and a nice macro.

[katchupoy]

I think we have the same shroom...

Thanks for the input, that shroom has only been in the tank for 2 days, Hopefully it won't be stressed to much longer.

[Newreeflady]

Doomweasel, I have the same shrooms in my 10g tank as the ones in the bottom left (green base, pink nodules), they get huge! I've fragged them more times than I remember, they are a beautiful piece:) I wish I knew what to call them techincally, tho.. I just refer to them as 'cool shrooms'.

Everyones pix were very nice! Can't wait to trade for some rics, always hard to part with zoos, but I think i'm gonna make it a zoos and rics tank for the most part, you can only fit so much in a 10g (j/k:D) .

Yeah i got lucky i saw an ad in the paper, this nice lady was taking down one of her tanks and rebuilding it replacing the live rock new canopy and what not, so she need to get rid of all these mushroom and colt coral she had and she had tons of it! I got 3 bright green mushroom, two of the mushroom in the picture i got a third on some live rock i got from her too The one in the picture is the only one that attached in a good spot, one attached between two rocks which is under my colt coral it seem to be doing alright and the other to the glass/sand on the front it doesn't seem to be doing all that great. The 3rd type was attached too an empty snail shell its doing good too i have no idea what it is thou it's green and kind of furry!:rolleyes: :p Great Find IMO the $5cdn made it even better:)

[Stormbringer22]

Hopefully, after these little beautys relax, the blue/purple "pimples" will show the colors I saw at the LFS, They had neon blue dots over bright red. I traded some xenia & montipora frags for these. (Great deal for me, 'cause I didn't want the xenia anyway!)

[Azurel]

Those are nice and red, pretty shrooms...

[Stormbringer22]

Here's another shot....

[Ddddrgnfly]

Ok, I'm in. Only one teal ric as of now but I like these alot. Pic does good but doesn't fully show them off

[str8kickn1]

sorry for the pic quality, heres my umbrellas

[str8kickn1]

my neon ricordia, dont know why

[str8kickn1]

heres my bullseye mushrooms

[Azurel]

These are pretty...

[str8kickn1]

I love the color of the shrooms...I havent seen any pink ones yet..

[Jimbo327]

Pink ones are hard to find, and they are more sensative to damage. However, there are some people who have really nice pink ones. I think Ken (TankOfTheMonth) has some pink ricordias in his tank. Anyways, that's why not too many people have them and not many pictures.

Stretch, have those "bumps" gotten longer at all since you got those? If ya look to the right of the red shrooms, (above), those "hairy" shrooms weren't quite as hairy when I first got them, the green "cap" is still very green, but, the hairs used to be "pinkish" & shorter. There's a bunch of 'em on that rock, 9 or 10! Just curious!

[Stretch]

Well mine arn't anything like that, I really haven't noticed to much growth yet. But those look very cool:thumbsup:

Welcome to Reef Central!

I love the coloration on those, especially the bottom two.

[Stormbringer22]

I hope they develop some colored hues!

This little one is the size of a nickel.

[Stormbringer22]

These are still some of my favorites!

[Stormbringer22]

Ok, last one!

[melev]

Here's one that has had two mouths for some time. Today it curled up and glared at me. I call this picture "Seeing Double" :lol:

I just wish it was a tad sharper, but you can definitely see it:

http://www.sparklingfloorservice.com/tank/seeing_double.jpg

[melev]

I have a massive red mushroom in my 29g now. It truly has grown to an amazing size, considering there are easily 100 more in the tank. See for yourself, and compare it to the Flame Angel and the 4" Maxima. Maybe if it was in a 125g, it wouldn't be so impressive, but it looks like it is trying to match my BTA now. :D

That mushroom measures 5.25" across the disc.

http://www.sparklingfloorservice.com/tank/massive_mushroom.jpg

[fahz]

Mach:

Is this the same mushrooms as the one above with the eyes. That one looks like red with blue dots. If it is they are the most prolific mushrooms I also have. We also had one we called elephant face with eyes a trunk and big ears. I say had because it moved and left four mushrooms in its place. I have these guys loose all over the bottom plus a rock covered with 30-40 small ones.

Fahz

[melev]

The mushroom with the two "eyes" would be just to the right of the mushroom you see on the edge of the picture above. The big one next to the "eyes" mushroom is the semi large one you can see in the Massive Mushroom picture.

And when all of them are fluffed up fully, the "eyes" mushroom is hard to locate!

They do have blue dots on them, but they aren't easily seen except at certain times and at certain angles. And grow they do!

I'm probably going to have to start poking certain ones with copper wire to reduce the population, because it is getting out of hand.

<b>Plus</b> my xenias are spreading onto the intake screen of my MaxiJet 1200 that pumps to my Remora Skimmer. Soon I won't be able to do a thing in that tank, as the reeflings take over! :D :rolleyes:

[fahz]

Mach:

Not the greatest pic but this is elephant face. Just setup a 58 gal last week so will have a lot room for all the loose reds I have. Plan on gluing them to one rock. All the big mushrooms moved off this pic rock and each left 3 or 4 babies.

Fahz

[melev]

Hey, I like your elephant mushroom. It <b>does</b> look like one.

I find that putting a mushroom where I want it, I just cover the guy with a piece of netting, and secure it to the rockwork with rubberbands. After 3 days, the mushrooms are attached and I can take the netting away. You might find that to be a better system than glue, since gluing softies is always tough due to the slippery slime.

[fahz]

Mach:

These guys have all attached substrate to there foot. When they do that I don't know if vail will work. I do know gel super glue works with no problem just don't get the glue on the softie. Has worked for me on leathers ricordias and other shrooms no problem. Lets you put the softie right where you want it.

Fahz

[melev]

Good point. Hey, how come you keep calling me "Mach"? I feel like a jet fighter. :lol: Just call me Marc or Melev. ;)

[fahz]

Marc:

Oops sorry about the name. I'm old or old fool as my wife says I see things my way and not how they really are. Gee sometimes she could be right.

I am with Darren on that one. A really rare anemone. What kind of lighting do you use to keep that one red on the top?

Bryan

[fahz]

Only the best breeding has gone into him. Performs well under all kinds of lighting. Have only two and will no sell or trade them. Eat your hearts out. But I will say since you are both in love with Ricordias you have a good eye for fine things.

Wirehair Pointing Griffon

I have two of them and they are the finest pointing dogs I have hunted behind. Excellent all round hunters and great family dogs love to please. They do have the stranges coats look like the old animal jackets from the 60's. The coloring on the head doesn't go with the body. Still limited numbers in US but becoming more popular all the time.

[Zephrant]

I got in a load of new Ricordias from www.ricordia.com. I can't seam to get good pictures of them- The shots all turn out purple. Since my single actinic is on the same ballast as the three other URI bulbs, I can't turn it off to get a shot.

Here is an attempt at a ballanced shot:
http://www.icehouse.net/reef/rc/rics3.jpg

They are darkening up under my lights (440 watts VHO), when they came in they were very bright. I kind of like the darker richer colors, at least that is what I'll keep telling myself until I get metal halides. :)

anyone know what kind the brown fuzzy ones are?

[waterfaller1]

how about these??they have green dots and edges

[waterfaller1]

one more??purplish..different kind of "bumps"

[waterfaller1]

This one is cool..pink w/purple polka dots

[seahorsie]

they are in the mushroom -discosoma family.

those brown look like the kind that were green once and they lost their colors. I have some that if I don't keep them out of the light they turn brown.

[waterfaller1]

only one I know the name of..hairy:rolleyes:

[waterfaller1]

my favorite..Giant elephant

[waterfaller1]

I think you are right..I bought that rock from a guy who had them in a tub for sale as liverock..I have been noticing their color changing..maybe they will color up..I hope..when only my actinics are on I notice the green the most

[waterfaller1]

last one..blue ricordia..blue mushrooms..and what is THAT!?SEASNAKES:eek1: Oh whew..just my serpentstar:lol:

ouinla, I guess you didn't pick up any at Dave's last weekend. I may have 1 or 2 of the yuma type.

[OUinLA]

I couldn't find any. That stuff went fast. Thanks again for the xenia. That piece you gave me has turned into a center piece lol. That thing is huge. I would love some ricordia. i'm about to install T5's and then do a litte rearranging of the rock. So I am not in a big rush. What kind of lights do you have?

[Konadog]

Originally posted by ouinla

Right now I have 4 96w PC's, 2 10k Daylight and 2 atinic. Soon to have 2 175w MH. I just need to get the bulbs! T5's, sweeeet!

I think since the tank has warmed up a bit, my shrooms and ricordia have started to jump. I'll round up the next ones.

[OUinLA]

Thanks Ken,

Let me know.

[adrinal]

:D bumping old threads of interest

[adrinal]

I just fed this dude (4 mouths) for the first time (I didn't know you could target them :eek1: what fun :)

[flake]

If you target feed them will they grow faster and split?

[adrinal]

Just started reefing so no clue, but it would make sense that they would grow faster (thus inevetebly split faster). From what I have read, it seems that many corals can get their energy from harvesting zoo (not zoa), but eating is benifitial and or neccesary. It would seem that feeding them would speed up their metabolic proccess to some degree.

Assuming I got that right... can you over feed? I have seen some posts that folks feed their ricordia about 2x a week..

[Simbo18]

I feed mine every thrid day. Sometimes I can get them to eat every second day but it's not easy. You usually have to wait twice as long or try over and over to feed them. So I just do it evrery thrid day so I don't waist too much of my time.

Over feeding is impossible, I'm not sure why but Eric told me so.:D And just for some added info from him he says that it only takes a few hours for them to digest the food you give them.... so you might be able to get them to eat twice in 24 hours? I'm not sure how long it takes for them to expell waists though.

:wildone:Luke:wildone:

[Simbo18]

Man, I always hit that post button too soon. :rolleyes:

Flake, I've seen that ricoridas usually grow in size when I feed and don't usually split faster. I think they are just trying to accommodate for the large pieces of "reef suprise" that I give them instead of trying to split. Fedding them also increases the mouth population on your ricoridas. I notice that you can give them as many food chunks as they have mouths..... But make sure the food is not too small and not too big. They won't bother with something too small, and the won't be able to take in something too large. It takes practice.;)
(I've seen some mouths tank in two pieces, but it's not very common).
