fluorescent orange ricordia

[dannyb]

Hey guys and girls.

Got a new coral today, A rare orange ricordia. The little bugger cost me $175, But they look so good under the blue lights and in the normal lights. Im planning on growing him up and fragging it and selling it to people that would like one.

Tell me what u think.

That's beautiful! Worth it.

 

[dannyb]

Thanks! Yeah, I've wanted one for a long time because when they get big and they're multiple ones they look so good, I'll be getting some blues and purples soon.

Looks good. The rock its on is nice too.

forgive my ignorance. What makes it different than a regular ol' orange ric? Looks the same to me

 

[Mitchell0605]

Nice.

 

[dannyb]

There is no difference. They are rare here in Australia. You get alot of mixed colours and dull colours. But no bright ones like the oranges.

Really? High prices due to scarcity are no fun. I know a guy who was selling a similar one in town for $10. Though, I imagine a lot of the expensive aussie corals are a lot cheaper down there

Hey Danny, I'll buy a frag!

We have some vivid red ones at my LFS. I have some nice blue-green-purple ones that are bright too.

 

[dannyb]

Yeah, I have red, purple and blue mushrooms, Im not sure if they're just normal or if they're some sort of ric. Reds have some slight bumps on them, The rest are smooth.

i'll let u know when his big enough to cut up, A few people want a frag.

 

[Mitchell0605]

Sweet.

I have a few ricordeas and think they are the coolest. I just posted a thread about lighting needs for a ricordea, and got some good feedback.
Here is the pic I posted, just taken a few hours ago.
