Bye. :rolleyes:

Sorry folks, back to buying ricordia. Have fun!!

On the topic of Ricordea, can someone advise me about placement in the tank to bring out their best colours?

I always thought of Ricordea as medium light type of things. However I noticed under medium light mine fade to a tan/brown colour, while under lower light they are purple with green highlights.

Since they are such a pain to attach I thought I would run it by here before I try relocating all my Ricordea.

If all you want is a single polyp or two, you can have them for free. :exclaim:

will have two frags available in two weeks i'll post it once it heals from being fragged

Rics
 

Are those the same frags we spoke about when I was picking up the blue polyps the other day right?
They are pretty.

FYI Justin, after your last little fiasco on here you were dropped as TOTM (which was about 2 days after we asked you) as we figured you wouldn't last long here. Seems we were right :rolleyes:

Seems silly typing this out as he isn't going to read this but I just thought I should clear that up.

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming......

Yay Ricordeas!

I got one from Jesse and even though I whined about getting one from the main tank :razz: he gave me one from the frag tank, assuring me they were the same. He was telling the truth! They were!!! :wink: Dang sweet color, orange and blue :biggrin:

How do you keep those things happy anyway ? I think I tried fragging mine too soon.....(what's new :rolleyes: ) but they didn't seem to really be thriving anyway. :confused:

Grats christy, I liked Props Rics too but he said you already put dibs on them...

I understand you have to feed Rics too.. the idea of feeding a mushrooms seems weird :D

I have 2 x 250 wt MH and 4 x 110 wt vho Atinic and my rics are placed mid level in the tank. I haven't had any problems yet ( knock on live rock ) and they seem to be growing well.

I can't say I have ever fed my Rics so I don't know if it makes a difference or not. The book I have says they like "moderate illumination and "may" be fed plankton or newly hatched Artemia" but they obtain much of their energy from zooxanthllae.

HTH :biggrin:

i've seen my ricodia closed up when flakes lands right on top of them but as far as actual feeding i don't bother..

can my 10g nano be the tank of the month? i'll move half of my corals from the big tank for picture purposes :lol: :lol: :lol:
