Can't stop showing these off!

[FLricordia]

I know everyone is probably about sick of all the pics I post.
Here are some of the rics I got from reef gardener last week. They put all my other corals too shame.

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

very nice indeed FLRicordia, although i might suggest that you keep them very far away from those GSP's...

Thanks. yes, I keep them thinned out. Other than their fast growth they pose no harm to other corals. If you mean the rics toward the GSp, than I have seen no sign of such.

WHAT? Bleached? Ha,ha. You might need to get a new monitor. The only white is where I fragged it and it is folded a bit.
Other than that the colors are purple background, green fringed, orange fading into yellow bubbles.

Very nice!

[Voltekker]

my yuma stung my zoos. Yep. Nice rics

[FishAffair]

Hey there, I'm really glad you like them. ;] Honestly, they do look a bit bleached, you should put them in medium lighting and they should get their color back in a month or two. And I agree, keep them away from the gsp, gsp have a very strong sting.

Hope to see you again soon!

exact same ones i have.. and trust me they are slightly bleached.. in a few months they will get darker.. but the base stays white.. nothing to worry about and the appearance change is almost unknoticable

[GregEMT]

They are nice looking but I agree, they are slighty bleached. They will recover quickly.

[FLricordia]

OK, OK. I still say that the camera isn't doing a good job of reproducing the colors to well. I have to increase exposure to get a decient shot, but I have pulled the MH and placed PC lighting for now as some of my yumas don't seem to be liking the MH too well.
I also pulled some of the GSP, though in the pic they look closer than they actually are. Everyone happy now?
There is one of those-I forget the name-green and pink anemones that are invasive and no one likes but sell like crazy on ebay attatched to some of the GSP, so I don't want that in the tank.

Awesome! Gorgeous !!
Today I'm suppose to be getting a riccordia from a friend that is closing down her tank. It's a hot pink color, she's had it for a couple years and paid ....listen to this....$109.00 for it orginally! I'll post a picture when I get it settled.

[cyenna]

It may not be bleached. I do believe there is a fluorescent variety of ricordias out there.

[treefer]

i got the same ricordea, nice lookin tho... hot pink with traces of blue and green rite? ill post pics later.. its not that bleached out. its a white looking ricordia..

[smp]

???
Mine ain't bleached either.

It's fluorescent!

[Letmegrow]

Clear is not a color ricordea come in.

No matter how + or - your exsposure is set to it will never give the camera xray properties. You can see through the body of the rics. The shade of green with the orange is nice tho, that color combination is not all too common.

They are bleached. Not very badly, but they are bleached.

SMP yours is bleached too. It's not going to die but it has still to color up.

I am not flaming, I am just saying what I see every day by the hundreds.

So did you get it and what about the pic?

It's not bleached!!! It's fluorescent! I paid 90 dollars for it from a very reputable online vendor that would never lie to me to take my money!!!


Yes, mine is bleached, more so than the OP, but the OP sad to say, also has a bleached ricordia. I can only hope you weren't sold it as being 'rare' or something because it isn't.
Any ricordea that is a shade of colour between the one I posted and a NORMAL ricordia is bleached to some extent. Like the previous poster said, transluscent is not a normal colour for them.
They can survive with less or no zooxenthelae (sp?) for a long time, mine has been in this state in my tank for over six months now without any change!

[kiknchikn]

Those are amazing. I hope you have great success with them and pass them on to your fellow reefers (including me)

[lynn53]

Here's my pink baby, although it looks really orange in this pic?? I also got one that has alot of orange dots on it and a blue/purple one ...but they don't look very good yet. I'll post later on them

Also meant to ask you guys how you post your pics here right in the thread? I need step by step instructions as I'm a old lady who is technically challenged!
If you have time...I'd appreciate it...and thanks

That is a beautiful yuma lynn. To add a picture directly to a post you first click the "Post Reply" button instead of using the quick reply. You then click the "IMG" button and enter the address to the picture (which is the same address that you provided in your post). When you click OK it adds the code necessary to add the picture to your post.

Now, that is an awesome yuma Lynn. Just the one orange? What param. are you keeping it at? And what lighting? I haven't had much luck with yumas and MH or strong flow.
I right click my photo and copy properties address and paste it in the img html code, but that might be what you just said. I am lame when it comes to html code and all.

[lynn53]

thanks guys, well the other orange one and blue/purple one still don't look so good today. The orange speckled one has fallen off it's rock as well. The tank they came from had 2 175w metal halide's in it and the mushrooms were half way up the tank.
I put them down lower in my tank...but we'll see how they look in the next few days.

Can be frustrating with yumas. I have pretty much lost all but a few of the brownish/pink over the last weeks and tryed different lightings and places in the tank and yet the green yuma and the 3 orange yumas not to mention all the FL rics are doing fantastic. I think some yumas are just very tempermental. Might be thriving at one time, go to move them and it's all over.
