Picked these up from Gulf Coast ecosystems. Great price, arrived very healthy.

Very nice looking gorgonians!

I wanted a true mixed reef and it sounds like Gulf Coast has a great operation going. They also have a very informative website about all the macro-algae they sell.

Yeah, so far my mixed reef has 2 mushrooms (Ricordea Yuma & Blue discasomas), 4 different montis, 2 euphillas, 1 Duncan and a favia

Nice! Sounds like a cool setup. I would get Ricordeas but the appearance bothers my wife, haha! She's very supportive of my hobby though so I figure I can compromise there.

Love it! Also, what's that encrusting coral in the bottom right? Kind of looks like a favia of some kind? Or a leptastrea?

Yeah, it is- kinda (Ricordeas are overrunning half of the tank- the chilli is growing nicely though now it’s upside down in a cave). Also, Ricordea Florida doesn’t have the uneven look of R. yuma, I have both (One of each in my nano, but in my big display it’s only Yuma at the minute) it’s always nice to have more people into the hobby because it’s not as popular as many others

Have you found yuma to be finicky compared to Florida? I keep hearing theyre slightly more demanding.

Actually, I’ve found them to be beyond easy. Both have been just as easy as eachother in my expirience

although, Yuma has needed more light than florida
