A couple years back I propogated a couple hundred rics to trade.

Awesome Jeff, why don't you start a post and give us a bit of info on what you have learned about propogating Rics, I know I would be interested.

Jeff · 11/05/2010, 08:18 AM

There are a few posts buried around here about propogating rics but I'll give you some tips here:
* Cut the rics in 4 pieces with a clean/new razor blade
* Put the pieces in a shallow container with a mesh top attached to it and crushed coral on the bottom and place in low flow area
* Let sit 2 weeks and uncover
* The rics will have attached to the crushed coral and started to heal
* Glue the crushed coral that the ric attached to to a frag plug or rock ruble
* Place these in low/medium flow
* Let grow out and be patient

This is what my mushroom island looked like a few years back, very colorful!

Beautiful pictures. I've always wanted to keep rics but afraid my lighting will be too much in my tank. (2 X 250 Watt Phoenix 14ks, 2 X 54 Watt T5 Purple Plus)

Hey Y-DesynGuy,
Do you still have this tank up? I am (hopefully) setting up my ricordea biotope fairly soon. Hopefully I can match what you have going on. I must live pretty close to you (in Glendale).

I don't im sorry, I sold the set up about a year ago. I am in the process of setting of a new 60 gallon rimmless tank. I kept those rics in a red seamax that I put a 250 phx 14k bulb on, they loved it.

This new tank I am going to use a Aqua Illumination Sol LED light. I will have to have some rics again, I love the look of those. I have a ton more pictures of them on that rock. I bought them all at one time and super glued them onto the rock. I think I got more glue on myself than the rics

I just got them and glued them to the rock in this picture.

I was trying to save the rics from the rtba's sting with broken cd cases.

My clowns finally figured out how to host

fishiegirl · 11/12/2010, 07:23 PM

Y-DesygnGuy- Love the broken cd case! What a clever idea. Did it work? Also, those pictures are amazing and so is the tank!

Thanks!

The CD cases sorta worked, the rbta always found away to sneak through. The rics did not like it touching them at all so I kept moving and adding more pieces.

pbmatthews · 11/14/2010, 11:55 AM

Here you go. I've got an LPS and Ric dominated tank. Sorry, can't figure out how to actuall embed image so I've attached files.

kimack@tampabay · 11/14/2010, 12:09 PM

I am green with envy with these pictures.

moondoggy4 · 11/14/2010, 06:15 PM

So you bought it Mrbeachbum2. I have what I think are Ric but they only have one mouth and I get babies not spitting . Any thoughts if they are Ric or Yuma's

-Scott- · 11/15/2010, 09:28 PM

OMG, I think Im in love! This looks like the reason I am looking for to start up another tank!

I dont think there alot of ric tanks around as me dont see any. I have kept sps for many years and know want to try propogating and keeping rics. I started with 10 and know got 20 in total. They easy to keep and some beautiful colours out there. Rics are not as demanding asd the sps and will survive in most setups.

Bios · 02/25/2011, 12:46 PM

Yes i'm agree with you....

But where are your rics frag tank and your rics tank???

I like to see more and ore and more...;mdr...
