Very nice James. A whole rock of pinks is really tough to come by. Nice pick up.

 

[JGoslee]

[Azurel]

That is the most beautiful collection I have seen. I love the centerpiece.

Yes, very nice! What type of lighting are you running?

I just had to downgrade my SPS tank and I have a small ric tank setup now with a 250w MH Hamilton 14K and I'm thinking of changing to a XM 20K.

 

[Azurel]

I am running 1 250 14k Hamilton SE and 2x 54w T-5 Super actinic Rs. They are both about 6-8'' above the water.......

Well I think I am done with Florida rics for now, I just got another 10 polyps today couple colors I didn't have and a few on variations I did. I am going to have to redo my tank I think be for I can add any more. I might just look for some propagated yumas of the rarer type now......I have been really looking at some SPS as well.....But will have to upgrade first to a bigger tank..I will have some pics coming of the new ones....

 

[Azurel]

OK never mind the last post.......


I will get some pics of the new ones I have, there is one that is the brightest mint green I have seen, looks to be a real keeper.

Ricorodia's are like small time drugs once you start getting them the colors will get you hooked on the bad stuff (SPS).

Tell me about it.....

updated pic of the yumas....

Yellow, what I would do for a yellow ric. Thanks for the continued posts James. Btw- I especially like the yellow rics in this thread.

 

[euphoricgear]

IT depends really some of them I got in trade some I paid $10, some $45 a piece. It really all depends on color and rarity......The pinks I have are far more rare then any of the other color combos of Florida ricordea I have. Those most likely you would pay top dollar for $45 a polyp. You are less likely to see a true pink Florida ricordea like the one I have then any other color in Florida. I think it would be safe to say that they are probably far more rare then even Hot pink Yumas.....

Pinkish lavender multiple heads connected together.

New pink might be even more pink then my barbie ric...Mad cause I moved it...

Pink and blue

FTS.....

It's been a while since I updated this thread with some new additions......I lost about 10-12 rics due to a protozoan that eats ricordea. But most of the rarer ones survived.....

New rock of pinks 10 polyps( from Marcel) these are hot,hot,hot.......

Some orange rain type....

Some yumas I got local....

Some oldies but goodies......
