I got 3 yumas that are a cool iridescent blue/purple and green yeserday (the smaller one on the right already attached to the rock). Not as crazy as the pinks and oranges I've seen, but still pretty nice. Oh, and I can't complain about the size (50-cent sized) or price ($5).

Thanks. 3 yumas for $15. The green mushrooms were $3. I traded xenia for the rainbow ric. All from a local frag swap.

I don't have any secrets...just bright light, stable parameters, good maintenance regime...

It gets addictive, those Yumas. They should do well for you if you got them from a fellow reefer. They look great.

Yeah, I've noticed some people are crazy-addicted to yumas. I can't afford the online prices, especially with shipping, and I don't want to risk wild-caught after all the melting stories I've read. I'll stick to any nice aquacultured ones I can find for reasonable prices or in trade from fellow reefers locally or through the forums. If that means I don't get many, so be it!
