Ricordia

[Fotopoulos]

Hey everyone.

Would love to see pictures of your ricordia and any information you have discovered over the years about these beautiful creatures. We plan to make our 6g a ricordia tank and cannot wait to add more!

Here are some shots of our newest addition.

Look forward to chatting about them and seeing other's photos!

I have a 1 inch green ricordia. I will get the camera later. I got him a few days ago for $10 and I love it!

 

[Fotopoulos]

$10? Awesome. What a deal. Would love to see. I think we got a good deal on ours...$60 and it has multiple heads

 

[Greenturtle]

I will post it later tonight. Promise. and good deal. I am already planning on getting another ricordia though

Holding you to that! Haha

And I haven't bought anything for my tank lately, just my parents, and now I feel as if I'm gonna have a hard time holding back! Haha all depends on the LFS and their ricordia shipments! Lol

I usually forget to post pics... all the time... but i remembered

one is of my green ricordia with my feather duster trying to steal the pic

one is of the best deal i have ever gotten. my colt coral. just bought it for $20. should have been like $150. Its crazy. Gigantic.

what other ricordias do you recommend? I totally want another.

 

[Fotopoulos]

Florida rics seem to be the most popular. There are Haitian ones too. Also check out the pink Yuma or the red Yuma...beautiful.

I also found a good site. coralfanatics.com. They show you the actual frag you get

 

[Greenturtle]

What You See Is What You Get (aka Eye It Buy It) is actually pretty popular.

 

[Fotopoulos]

Yah I totally love that I wanna get a 15 pack. Waiting on shipping prices though.

 

[Greenturtle]

15 pack seems a little much. I like a few corals at a time. Plus, I have like no more coral room already. Guess it is time for more fish... LOL

 

[Greenturtle]

Whats your tank size and lighting? and stocklisting? (I love knowing this stuff hehehe)

 

[Fotopoulos]

We don't have much in it now. Its a 6g and like I said we wanna make it just ricordia. We have some neon green mushrooms, a green hairy mushroom and toadstool. Have a twin spot goby and an emerald crab and the usual CUC. Some sort of weedy polyp that seems to be taking over and a pulsating blue xenia. And the new ricordia of course. If 15 would be too much my parents would take a couple...just would be a better deal and the more moolah you spend the better shipping rate you get. We have a 30g not set up...have to wait til I buy a house bc we don't wanna move it. So they could go in there in the future too

 

[Fotopoulos]

Oh and lighting. We have a compact bulb with LED lights added. Seems to do the trick for now.

Sorry, wasnt paying attention. I will probably get a xenia too, in the future. Post picks of the polyps? look up in google images "zoanthids", "yellow polyp coral", and "palythoa coral" and see if that works

 

[Fotopoulos]

Here are the polyps.

Total weeds...no idea the name.

They look like clove polyps, and expensive at that they are totally harmless
