Here's a link to an old thread I started asking for pictures. Nice to see some new ones!

Let's see those mushroom pictures! (http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=166614)

[Pacman100]

Hot pink ric I just got. Still a little new to ricordia, but I like them a lot so far!
http://www.drherald.com/images/Pinkric.jpg

[Quatro]

Ooooo,

Nice pink florida ric! Haven't seen a solid pink fl. that nice in awhile! Did you get the ric online or LFS or someplace else? Rics are addicting, once you get a few, you just have to get every color of the rainbow!

Here's a shot of the upper rim of my little nano. 9 different types of ricordea:)
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d186/hceiv/Nano%20Reef/9daa79a9.jpg

[Pacman100]

Thanks! I got it from a local reefer. So far I've got pink, blue and green. Hopefully I'll get a few more colors soon, probably after the holidays. They really are addictive.

Nice tank! I used to have a 10 gallon dorm room reef, but it never looked that nice. By the way, is that a green toadstool? Those are so cool too.

[XxMutedYouthxX]

Just rearanged my tank a lil last night so hopefully everything will open up nice and big today... Ill post some pics of the growth on my rics as well as a new colony I recently picked up

[Quatro]

Thanks Pacman100,

Yep, it's the green polyped toadstool, I got it from a local reefer. They are really cool, and I think their price is coming down which is a relief.

Can't wait to see the rics XxMutedYouthxX

[rocketman2005]

Those all look awesome, what cameras do you all use, those are by far some of the best pics i've ever seen!

[Mr. Ugly]

Got mine in a trade with a local reefer. My LFS has those too.

[nickj88]

Wow! Some great looking SHots!

[greenmandk]

BradleyJ - Beautiful rics and zoos. Can I ask you a question? I have a very large ( 4" across ricordia ) next to a large pink paly colony( 8 polyps 2 - 3" tall ). 2 Days in a row I've come in to find 1 paly head closed up with one ricordia tenticle in its mouth. Does not seem to irritate the ricordia, but it usually takes a while for the paly to reopen after I seperate them. Should I move them? You have yours so close and I like that look! Who's stinging/eating who? What do you think?

greenmandk

[bradleyj]

The ricordia is stinging the paly, keep a close watch over them and if keeps irratating the pally's I would suggest moving them. I had to move my sun polyps away because the mushrooms were killing them slowly. I guess I just lucked out with the others, they dont seem to bother each other.

[sinned]

These "yellow" rics are insane - in my tank a few years with no
color shift. Dennis (fish2223)

Hey Dennis,

BradleyJ, it's a little off this thread, but could you post a FTS? Your rics are amazing and what I can see of the rest of the tank it looks pretty awesome.

Beautiful stuff everyone, and GREAT photo talent.

[trottman]

bradlyj you have too many big of fish in your tank. the sailfin tang and naso get about 1/3 of the length of your tank.

but your corals are freaking awsome!

[DonavonsReef]

Hey Brad, if it ain't broke..don't fix it.

[bradleyj]

I've had them all in there for over two years now, plus I couldn't catch em if I wanted to. I've almost got the misses talked into a bigger tank, so I'm workin on it....

New ones today..

This next one is smaller polyps.. the bleached out yellow looking one is really an outstanding lemon/lime green. I have to find the really good shot I have of it somewhere.

Please do post a full tank shot! We would love to see your whole tank, along with any other ric pics you've got!!! Anyone else got some insane rics to post?!!!

What have to paid per polyp...just curious?

Great looking rics

[tangdiver]

Sorry cannot spell...What have u paid per polyp...thanks

I have only red, and blues

thanks

[rbrice020378]

I have no idea what each of these cost. My wife picked them up from the lfs that she works at.

What Online sellers have good prices on their Ricordias?

[mfinn]

reeftopia had a really good price. 6 ricordea for $42. But out of the 6 only 2 were worth saving, colorwise.
liveaquatia had a special going also, so I bought some off the wysiwyg page and one of the specials and neither one was worth it.
So, if you want really sharp colors, you will have to pay $$$$.

[rbrice020378]

Thanks for the advise

[mfinn]

After having said that, once in a while you will fall into a sweet deal.

[BelowH20]

heres some of mine first rics.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/RDTennet/DSCF0033.jpg

[rbrice020378]

Okay I got a question that I need answered. Does anyone know of any creature that eats healthy ricordia?

I got up this morning and there are no signs of my rics at all in my tank. The rocks that they were mounted to are the only thing left.

BTW Below H2O nice Place and Rics.

[Yzf]

Have not seen anything that will eat rics.
Chances are they dismount from the rock and disappear into the rockworks. Normally its only yumas that will fall from the rocks.
Try looking for it.

Hope it helps.

[Morgandy]

I did read recently that there is a worm that DOES eat them. Someone else's kept disappearing, and, they found the culprit. Not a bristleworm, be something similar that is bad news.

I agree though with YZF, mine do detach and get blown around, but several at a time might be doubtful.

[Simms142]

www.oregonreef.com i think this guy had one...

[rbrice020378]

That is the most horrific looking worm. Well due to the disappearance of my rics I have been thinking about turning the tank into a BB. That would give me a chance to inspect the rock work or at least do a Fresh Water Dip. I have just never seen such a thing as Corals today gone by Morning.

I just lost a completely healthy superman rhodactis. Thursday it was there, full and open and Friday morning it was gone. Only the rock it was attached to was left. The only thing in the the tank is a lawnmower blennie and a couple of pepermint shrimps.
I've heard the shrimps will eat zoanthids, maybe???
Got any shrimp in the tank?

I have one Cleaner and he has been very active in the tank. I didn't think that a shrimp would eat my rics. He has been fighting with the clowns. He will get to close and they will nip at him to go away. My wife thinks the shrimp is OCD. Things have been moving around on the substrate in the front of the tank. And there isn't enough flow to do the moving. I'm at a loss can't figure this one out.

[bigdaddyadam]

I have had yumas shrink down to almost nothing in a few days right after I bought them, if they were super stressed they may have just evaported

It was under MH when I bought it and it looked mostly pale pink with lots of grey but it turned purple under my VHO's after about 2 weeks.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Do you know how much money you are going to cost me now?

So what are some of the key points to keeping Florida rics happy? I have an 18” deep tank with VHO lighting (2 act / 2 50/50). I have a fine sand substrate bottom with plenty of open rock work to place them anywhere in the tank for different lighting and flow needs.

[slave-of-rock]

I need to get batteries for my camera tomarrow! I got some blue, orange, green and mixed colored rics this past weekend at IMAC. I have still yet to take pics... This weekend after prom you shall see :D. Beautiful pieces everyone!

[kwiker]

BradleyJ , awesome rics and I love the hairy mushrooms.

[andiruleu]

man i want rics!

[metalManiac]

this is my humble ric.

not sure what the color exactly is but its leaning mostly to pink. Notice the loveheart at 6oclock at the base of the mouth? :rollface: (cost me only $6). who am i to argue that this is not a normal mushroom polyp? ;)

Quick noob question...
these are all ric's and thus all mushrooms? Will they live/thrive under flourescent lighting?
Do they require MH's or ?
thanks,
mike

[jessp]

pc lights are ok

[freezb]

im from quebec canada, and i want to start a nano 12g just for some ric. i want to no wath is the best lighting for riccordea and yuma to make them ghrow, .

[PRESTO2345]

I have a stock 36w 5050 daylight 24 gal deluxe nano cube, and both of the florida and regular rics do just fine. Otherwise you can check out nano-tuners for other configurations. But remember they don't like the lighting to be too strong.

I disagree. In my experience my ricordia florida look much much better under metal halide then they ever did under PC. They will live and grow under PC but won't look nearly as good IMO.
Yuma like low light though.

Wow great pictures! What are you guys feeding your Rics? I've got a nice peacock blue Ric with a green mouth that just won't grow. It's 26" down from a 250W Pheonix 14K lamp. I think I may need to feed it but I don't know what.

[bradleyj]

I just distribute cyclopeeze throughout the water column. I don't target feed any coral.

[lessans]

I feed mine mysis shrimp a couple times a week.

Mysis won't stick to mine. I tried target feeding them and shortly after the mysis just fall off them.

FYI that ricordea is bleached.
I hope it wasn't sold to you as "rare specialtastic super cool expensive polyp rare awesome".

[Ken668]

I've seen bleached ricordeas and that does not look bleached. If anything it looks like nice healthy ricordias of a florescent variety. Bleached one would have some solid colors still on the undersides that are shaded, but this one is colored evenly through out.

Ok then in that case I have the EXACT SAME ricordea!!!
What are the chances?
Except, mine used to be a tri-color.
I'm not saying it to put anyone down, but newbies shouldn't be looking at these ricordeas thinking that they're rare and going out and paying 'rare' prices for them. It's ridiculous but it happens.

[norm_al]

TO:checkinhawk, The last pic is that green rim W/tangerine with in,because i have one and it seems to be losing its color.
i've been feeding it and it still doesn't look to great but all my rics and sps are so fine:p any clue, i started it low in the tank just moved it half way up. 65 gal w/vho atin.and 20k 400watt.

[CMcNeil]

my yumas seem to like to be on the bottom under a little shade.i have a few other yumas that came to me somewhat bleached and they are doing alot better in shade and coloring up.i dont spot feed any of my rics .i do use 4ml of phyto feast everyday to feed my clam,i assume they will eat the phyto as well.my pic was taken under 10k 150 halide/130 pc actinic 460nm/420nm.i would move it back down to the bottom,try to find an area that has some shade and put it there.you can melt it if you get it too close to light(trust me i found out the hard way).

When i got them they were all perfect and fow a couple weeks really doing great. 2 weeks ago now after one my water changes, As well as removing my rock to scrub off evil hair algae i noticed that 3 of the heads havent opened up fully, The way they should be at least. I dont have a camera right now to take pictures but maybe i can draw a mental picture. 3 rics at which were jsut a tad smaller them a palm when full opened (2" - 2.5") now shunk to the size of a a loonie or larger coin (1" - 1 1/4") They take food if fed but are still the same size and colour. I dont know what to do.

You could have them sent to your work. And then spend all day wanting to go home and get them in your tank. I have heard that it is cheaper to ship to a business as well.

You could have them sent to your work. And then spend all day wanting to go home and get them in your tank. I have heard that it is cheaper to ship to a business as well.

But will they live if you do that? I have a 40 min. commute, and they'd be sitting around for seven hours if delivered at 10 am.

Yes, my LFS never has anything but brown! And how can you order via mail if you work and aren't there to receive the FedEx?
Pick them up from the fedex location.

You have some beautiful yumas. I already gave my right arm away, but I can give the left arm and a foot for those.

chrisstie, What kinda lighting are you using? Cause they look amazing!

[chrisstie]

Presto I got those from a store that had MH lighting over the display tank and they were kind of shoved into a corner so they wouldn't get too much light.

I now have them in my tank at the bottom under 4x54W of T5HO bulbs.. i think 2 03's, a 460nm and then that super actinic thats actually a white-bluish mix. Hope that helps!

[bitis316]

Chrisstie...VERY NICE///

gotta love the rics.

[IBASSFSH]

Here is a shot of one of my Ricordias. What does the majority of people on here feed their ric's? What type of lighting?

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/Ibassfsh/IMG_0338.jpg


This one is under 2 250 watt 14,0000k MH and 2 400watt MH all on Reeflux 14,000K (May be 12,000K cannot remember right now).

[smp]

I moved my rics over into my small top down tank, I like them much better this way!

The green/beige one is my favourite coral, and one I've had the longest (little over a year, not that long I know).

[Quatro]

smp,

I do like the green/beige colony the best too. Gotta love those cuban rics from Canada! ;)

Please do elaborate on your tank design, I would love to see a FTS if you get a chance. I was contemplating a tank like Marte's aka Lukans where the front is slanted, giving a "top down" view as well. An open top would be killer too!

One of mine not to long after being introduced to its new tank, it just blew up on the following morning....it settled down, either later that day or the next. It was about 1 1/2 years ago so I don't recall the specifics.
