What a steal!!!

[icy1155]

WOW. I wish I could find deals like that around here...

[Tallinu]

Wow, I'd like to have a couple of blue yuma's in my collection and you got an entire rock of them )

[jaxspsreef]

What a good deal!!

[JuliusJames]

Wow. Nice. If you decide to sell that rock, let me know first. Hee hee

[Dipan00]

Very nice!!!!

[shadowz40]

Nice colored ric's!

[xXReefXx]

BINGO!! thats very nice!! you see, you live in cali and i live in albuquerque. theres only one dominant saltwater fish out here and our LFS tend to rip everybody off. i learn it the hard way and dont buy local anymore.

[LandsharK.W.]

wow, yea. normally those are at least $15-$20 per mushroom. awesome find

[xXReefXx]

come to think of it....idk vacavilleFC3S are you bluffing or the employee at the fish store is retarted. either that, u might have a very good connection with ur LFS to hook you up man. 40+ STEELY YUMA FOR $35.. can you prove it?? cause if your not bluffing i'll fly down there right now and buy every single yuma they have in stock.....

[VacavilleFC3S]

no not bluffing at all, my they don't really sell by the polyp they just have a big tank with lots of stuff on eggcrate and you have to ask for prices, and they don't usually carry to many ricordeas, when i bought this one there was 1 smaller rock with 8 or so on it, but that was a month ago so it's definately gone.

[VacavilleFC3S]

i just say i just have exceptional luck sometimes look at the deal i got on my current project

[VacavilleFC3S]

[jmking33]

[THEUNION1]

Well you have to save money somewhere if your screen name represents your other hobby! ;)

Ps. Great find man.

[JMCAquarium]

Very night find don't be shocked if they turn purple on you though :)

[VacavilleFC3S]

lol yes my rx7 costs me even more than the tanks

[vmartino]

!#@!$#@%#$^#$ i can get a rock with maybe 2 blue rics at my lfs for that much

[Tallinu]

Any update pics? How is this colony doing and I see in your second picture a color shift.

[VacavilleFC3S]

second picture is without actinics, and both were takin at the same time, i'll put some new ones up, several of the smaller ones are an interesting green purple.

Dont feel bad they are 40 bucks a head here! :rolleye1:

[ehutchby]

really nice deal.
If you bought it for $35, then it was either a mistake or the LFS bought for even less.

[tangobc29]

Are thoe ric florida or yumas?

[ehutchby]

I live in North Carolina. Let us know if anyone close has a nice deal on rics that this....

[boxerzz]

Am I wrong but they look more like yumas to me.

[Tallinu]

Its a fantastic colony of Yumas he aquired for a song and a dime.
