Re: Ricordia: Rare, or just expensive?

Depends on the colors and whether they are wild or aquacultured. The rics I sell are aquacultured so they cost more than what you would find wild collected. Aquacultured are also hardier, though even wild Fl ricordias are quite hardy. Yumas on the other hand are very tempermental. I have found that exposing wild yumas to air may eventually bring about their demise. They are a deeper water species, unlike Fl ricordias that at times are exposed during low tide, so this may have something to do with it.
Price depends on the person buying. Some will pay upto $200 and even more for a hot pink yuma and some wouldn't give $50.
I spent almost a weeks pay on these purple yumas.
