Thanks Charlie, I wanted to get my fathers camera but it got stolen out of his car.......So I will wait till he gets his new one and then re-take some of these with a much better camera.....I will then also be able toget some really good macro shots.
I will probably add about another 5-6 new ric in about a week or so, I also have a big trade for some rics coming in the next week or 2 as well.....Then I think I will be done and let it grow and fill out......

Thanks Steve,
I wish I could get the colors to come out better in some of the pics.....The light pink w/ green centers are really sweet. I have take about 25 pics of them and where they are sitting the colors just won't come out.....Here is one I got from the LFS that has orange, green, and blue. IT also has another ric on it that is Blue w/ pink and purple highlights.

Wow! That ricordia canyon is really coming along!! Pretty soon you're going to have to put in a visitor center. ;p
But let me send you some crabs or somthing to clear out those exotic weeds. hehe I recently discovered my purple tang loves bubble algae. If you lived closer I'd let you borrow her for awhile. Now anytime a coral gets bubble algae I just set it in my main tank and in an hour or two, presto! super clean. ;]

Thanks Morgan,
I plan on adding some more from you as well eventually, I cleaned up a bunch of the bubble algae the other day when I did my water change. Sucked them out whole with my hose. Cleaned up the tank pretty nice I might add a Scopus tang which I had before and he ate all algae. After he died in QT it all started up not to mention I had a 12'' Magnifica melt on me in the rock works about 9-10 months ago which didn't help the nutrient levels either......

Wow! What caused the magnifica to melt?
I've seen a lot of small scopas at a few wholesalers lately so you can always get one from me if you have trouble finding one. You'll have to post pics of the sparkley tank. ;] How big is that tank? I have a nice chevron tang thats been in limbo since we broke down our 180, but I don't know if he eats bub algae or not.

I really love that blue with pink highlights the red mouths really set it off.....I think I figured out why my pics turn out so blue as well.....I don't have a closed canopy but a open light rack and there is a lot of light spillage into the room. So those last 2 pics I put a towel over the front part of the rack and the blueness seems to have been cut down a bunch.....Here is a real crappy pic of the ric area.....The green is not the bubble algae that was there but macro(calurapa(SP?) that I am tired of as well with some green algae.

The addiction is strong in this one
It's ridiculous......I started out with ricordea many, many years ago and they have always been my favorite coral. I had issues back then with sub-par equipment and I could never keep them for long. So a month or 2 ago I decided I would try them out again and see what happens......Well so far I have had great luck with them as well as my equipment has vastly improved as well.....I'm sure there will be more coming in the future....
