Website offering dive for corals vacation.

A website "Ricordeas.net" is offering a dive package that includes collection of your own Ricordea to take home. Just wondering if there is a limit in key west as to how many , size, etc. Anyone have a clue? Thanks.

I took a look at the links just below your post and still have no idea.

That said, if it says you can collect your own Ricordea, it probably means 1. My guess is if it were more than one it would have some sort of plural form like Ricordeae.

Don't forget to iodine dip it and QT it!!

Sorry about that wrong site. Try this one. It kind of talks in circles but I belive you can have up to 20.

There are a few of these diving places that let you collect stuff for your tank. Here is one example.http://www.sealective.com/

^ Something like that would be sweet to do but wonder what the survival rate of fish from the ocean are. If I ever did something like that then I would have them in a qt tank for a long time.

Why? You think anything you buy at the store has any less bugs?

Seriously?? Man.. I'm going to Florida in a month... I might have to make a stop.

Eek... I was all for it when I thought that it'd be a couple hundred bucks to go out on this trip. $2k? Pass - no ricordia is worth that. Even if I do have the experience of collecting it myself.

that link is pretty tight.. 500 bucks, 4 dives for 4 ppl... good prices...

I dont QT anything I get fresh from the sea, it's only the stuff from stores that I worry about. I have had no problems so far.
