i only have quad t5 the person i bought them from had then under MH
 
Everything I've read seems as though this is normal Ricordea Yuma behavior. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

I saw this on another site.

"Just an FYI, the 'bubbles' on the Ricordias are not polyps. Each Ricordia is one indivi dual polyp covered in bumpy growths. Some of those bumps can get quite large and balloon-like. One of mine has bumps that as large as my thumbnail and others (on the same rico) that are corkscrew-shaped."
 
Oh thanks so this is for sure normal should I lower amount of light?
 
Im pretty sure. The pics I saw were the same size as yours if not bigger. It said not to worry. Its the shrinking up that would cause concern. If they were unhappy I'd figure they would move. Are they still blown up?

Yes they are almost golf ball sized and they were like that in the previous tank and multiplying like crazy so they must be happy thank you :)
