[TyreeUM]

Check this guy out-dont even ask how much...I dont care I love it

 

[JGoslee]

Thats a nice looking Ric!

 

[TyreeUM]

I have a few "yellow" rics that you could call yellow-but this one is REALLY yellow....finally-I have been trying for 2 years to get one like this

 

[TyreeUM]

if anyone else has any cool ricordea morphs i would love to see pics of them!!(and or buy them from you if they are for sale!)-I do research on florida ricordea here at the university.

Sweet pick up Matt! How long will it take you to have like 10 of them???

haha honestly probobly only a month-I cant really say exactly what I am doing at school but I am at the point where I can get a ricordea to heal into a full polyp in 2 days and grow back to original size at an incredible rate-so after my work is done up here in May I will probobly have a lot of them-I will save you one no problem!

 

[chadfarmer]

the local pet store deal directly with a diver for ricordia


what color are you looking for?

 

[TyreeUM]

I am interested in anything I dont have-basically anything other than solid green, blue, or orange and pinkish orange-here are some of the cooler ones I have.

 

[Pazazz]

If you cut them in half and let them heal in low flow them start feeding them brine and a few mysis everyday your stock will double pretty quick.

 

[TyreeUM]

ahh i wish I could, but unfortunatly I cant say much at the moment, allthough I will let you know that you can have them under considerably brighter light than yumas (you may have to adjust them to it)-give them a really high PAR level with your lighting and make sure there is plenty of nutrients for them. Other than that I cant really say much else, sorry

 

[TyreeUM]

I would recmoned just halfing them, in addition to what pazazz said-forzen copepods work really well for a first feeding as well

PLease put me inline for one of those yellows as well......Thanks

 

[AngieN.]

Those yellows are really nice!! The rest of your collection is awesome too.

 

[maverick451]

Is it best to target feed each polyp or just feed the tank and let them catch they food?

 

[TyreeUM]

Target feed-in my experience

 

[maverick451]

what food is best to use? just the usual frozen meaty foods like brineshrimp etc or somethign else?

 

[hceiv]

Ah-HA !!! So you are the one that outbid me! I would have gone way past $150 for those true yellows but I was unfortunately away from the internet when the auction ended (something I couldn't avoid). Ah well, nice score.

Here's some yellows I used to have (so mad they melted when tank crashed)...

And here's one nearly solid yellow I've got now...

Hey, Just joined up on Club-Zoa. Since this thread is about ricordias. I thought I would ask what lighting everyone is using? Im trying to decide on 75 gallon tank, zoanthid and ricordia dominated. I was wondering what lighting people are having the best success with for raising both zoos and rics.

Thanks so much,

Dallas

If you go with Metal Halide or T5 youll get the best results
