e of the hardest things to accomplish is acclimation of these corals.Try this as I read it somewhere.
1st place the ricordeas in a shaded area and wait few days up to a week untill the ricordeas expand and try to reach for light ,then move them closer to more light and repeat 1st step keep doing so untill they are totally acclimated as that could take up to 1 month.Good luck and enjoy.

That's weird I've read of lots of people having trouble keeping them but for me I just drop them in after a drip. No special placement usually on the sandbed.. hmmmm...

I would love to get my hands on a few more rics.
For placement in my tank I just set it in a nook with a bit of shade almost at the bottom of my tank and let it be. I noticed over a few weeks-months it moved on its own to a position of higher light. The bonus to this was it left 4 tiny baby rics in its path which are very slowly growing up.

My Yuma rics came from a reefer with a 'no maintenance' system so they're not used to virtually no params in my 'too clean' system
