Since I have been collecting ricordea of both types I have finally almost reached my goal of my ricordea valley. I added 14 more last week and will add 14 more in Sept with a few yumas then it will be finished and allowed to grow and prosper.


Here are some pics....

About 2 years I lost about 50+ polyps a long time ago to a predator, lost quite a few yumas over that time.....But I have things in order now so I have been pushing hard that last 5 months......

Thanks guys/gals.....By far my favorite coral. I have had to make a few changes today cause they were opening up so big that they would cover others. So some of them I had to move around a little bit. You all know the pita that is.....Had the arm in the tank for about an hour or so.....I also have about 6 that are loose on the sand, These ones just dont seem to want to attach....I have tried netting, bowl with rubble, glue, hope, prayer and they just keep fighting me. SO I might just frag them let them heal and trade half for credit at the LFS for a really sweet torch they have.

Glad to see Yuma is doing well.
I really really miss her :cry:

LOL....I bet :) She has moved on man so you need to as well. What you had together is over and done with.

I moved her out into a little bit more light this past week and it has seemed to respond well. I had it shaded since I got from you just acclimating it slowly.....Now I can try and get a pic of it now the green in it will show up more in the light.

I am in the middle of a bubble algae war.....Although hermits don't eat it, they have really help with the rest of the algae.....It will soon be clean as long as they keep working for me.
