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

I've tried yumas a time or two.. They always slowly melt away to nothing in my tanks. Floridas do well for me.

+1
Typically yumas are much harder to keep long term than the Floridas.

I picked up one Yuma (Big Al's) and two Florida (Golds) a month or so, ago. The Yuma is doing very, very well. The Floridas are doing okay. They were very small and not in great shape to begin with. I think they'll make it, though.

Being that I picked them up in person, and I believe they had been at the stores for a long time, shipping stress hasn't factored in with them.
