I LOVE ricordias. This first pic is of my Florida ric rock. I have had it about a year now.

This one can give you an idea of just how large this ric is - about 3 1/2 inches. I really like the black cap as well.

This last one is of the orange rics I am trying to grow out and propagate. Sorry about the poor picture quality.

I find that they do better in stronger light - both the Floridas and the Yumas; however, the greens will melt in the strong lighting (I have melted a couple of them recently and in the past).

Ok...that's a beauty!!!!! Where did you get it?? I must have one

 

[Cassette87]

My LFS here in the chicago area I'll have frags for sale in due time

 

[Techno-Vicki]

Awesome!!! I want at least one:whstlr: Tell me how you are fragging your Yumas. I have not had the guts to yet. Floridas are easy.

 

[Cassette87]

honestly, i've never fragged a yuma yet... so this may be a bit scary! How do you frag your florida's, pie slices?

I haven't gotten the nerve up to cut up a ric or a mushroom yet. I keep saying I'm going to buy one JUST for the purpose alone but everytime I go to buy something like that I find one that I MUST HAVE and can't bring myself to start cutting it. I think the next time I see one that's a duplicate to what I already have I'll get it and try this out. I just gotta keep telling myself "It will work!!"

I love these Coral of the Week Threads when I catch them!

I have a single Ric Yuma polyp but I can't seem to get it to attach anywhere? The only place it seems happy is 3/4 hiding in a hole in one of my rocks...but I would love it to be out in the open. Is there anyway to get them to attach where you want them?

Here is a photo before it drifted away and I had to put it in its current location.

yea, but my tank is so loaded right now it is difficult to get a good pic. After I get into the larger tank I will post pics. I am planning on doing a tank build thread though.
