My first Rico's.

OK, added my first Ricordia's today. Both are about size of a quarter, one is in the process of splitting. I have been good at keeping shrooms and leathers for a while, admit still new at the coral keeping bit. Anything I should look at or keep an eye on? They are in fairly bright light area, flow is kinda light. I hope that I did not hurt one. It is barely attatched to any rock so I kinda inadvertantly got a little rough with it when trying to glue whatrock was there to its home spot. I will get some pics up soon. Just got a new camera tonite and the lights are already out on the tank. Will try tomorrow. Oh, by bright light, I have a 400W MH. It is about 10 inch above the water. One rico is about 6 inch deep directly under lamp, otheris about 8in deep just off to the side.

Ricordeas don't like bright lights. They end up doing much better out of direct light, there color is actually better then. Over all they are pretty easy to keep.
