Florida Ricordia: How many of you have RICS!

LeftyReefer · Feb 16, 2022

I've had an orange FL ric for about a year and a half now and it has not grown at all. not one tiny bit. still small and shriveled. It doesn't spread out, just stay small. All my other corals grow fine, zoas, LPS, SPS, etc... can't grow my Ric though. not sure why. What makes a Ric happy?

Certain corals are not part of my reef and mushrooms are one of them. If I was to get one it would b an og bounce.

Got this tiny rock with two baby rics on it from my lfs

fully open the bigger one is about the size of a pea- I saw them stuck up under the frag rack in a corner just chilling but not very impressive...so I adopted them ;Joyful

Would like to get some, are they difficult?

Okay, so my very first coral was a tiny $12 green Ric from Reef Cleaners that I added to my cart to make the total enough for expedited shipping, and also b/c I wanted to try my hand at soft corals when my tank was brand new. I thought they were kinda pedestrian and I wouldn't care too much if it didn't end up making it. Now it's huge and honestly beautiful. I liked it so much I bought an orange one later, and lately I've been thinking of getting more. Those things are really pretty, and easy to care for, too -- just set it and forget it. They look like Lite Brite to me.

Rics are really easy! they can handle a lot of different environments but the key is keep them in the bottom third of the tank and they will thrive

I have 3. For some reason they have gotten very big and puffy these last few months. Hoping some of the experts can help solve that and get them back down to normal size.

This is mine. Going to be trading it for 4 other corals soon. Got it as a freebie from AquaSD and it's definitely a beaut

I sure do. I have two right now but I plan on getting more. I’d really like to find a pink one!

ScottyG · Feb 16, 2022

I have one and love it. I want more just need to figure out how many, what colors and location.

They will take over if left un-checked.

LOVE IT!!!! Y'all have FL Rics available now? Link please!

I have one, just one, who wants to be two but hasn't quite made up its mind to complete the split.

Since I'm in my full first year back I bought one just to see how it would do, and it doing well.

I plan on getting a rainbow of them as time goes on as they are my favorite mushroom and love the color variants.
