My First Florida!

Picked this little ric up from the LFS for $25. Acclimated it slowly and is under low light. What else should I do to ensure it remains healthy? Water params are good...all other corals are doing very well and growing. My yumas are doing fine too. Here ya go:





Thanks...Craig

sorry to say but that looks like a florida ricordea. They are still very nice and also much hardier than the yumas. i am to the point where I will no longer buy yumas. I have one that I had for 3 months and decided to move it ro another place and then it started to die. I moved it back to its origional spot and it still died.

Beautiful addition

I guess you've gone backwards. Most people (myself included) seem to start with floridas and then graduate to the much harder to keep yumas.

Thanks for all the replies guys...it's doing fine in my little 10 gal. I'm hoping to have a colony of them soon.

Currentking...no worries.
