Great Looking Rocordea & St. Thomas.
I really like the " Orinia torpida " form of the St. Thomas.
The Sphere sharped tenticles really catch my eye.
I see your Shrimp has settled in.
Yours has a lot more coloration than the one that I picked up.
Mine does not have the markings on the " Back ", It is 90% Clear.
Thanks

Yea that morph of ST. Mushroom is my fav to, I wasn't going to get it but after I made my order I ended up adding it. With 15% off I figured why not. I wish my camera could really pick up the colors of the rics I got from Tomasz, they have really came into there own now and are getting nice and big with great color.
Yea the shrimp is a beaut, it now has takn up residence in my elegance coral.......

i love yuma's you know how to frag them?
OP
OP
They frag like any other mushroom....Although I have never fragged them cause of the susceptibility of them getting bacterial infections and melting. I like to let them do their own thing naturally.

I have 14 more ric coming in on Wed.....A couple of rare polyps and the 12 pack.....Might do another re-aquascaping with acrylic rod to get te sweet over hangs ect. But we will see.....Will update with pics once I get the polyps

Sure I don't mind people coming over, I wish I could get rid of this macro thaqt has came back. Makes the tank look kinda bad.....I have a med reactor coming from Greyseas sometime this week or next. Hopefully I can get some media that will help with getting rid of it. I think I amreally gonna have to change some things with the aquascape with the newrics coming. I am on vacation in a week and a half with nothing planned so I might tank a day or so and go for it.....
OP
OP
Well I got them in this morning and everything looks good.......The 12 pack ended up being a 14 pack with some real sweet ones included. The 2 singles are real sweet and are two color morphs that should be had by any collector.....Pics will come once they settle and fill up and are looking good. Only issue was 2 of them are real small smaller then I expected but the were actally out of 12 packs on the site so I can't complain to much.....

LOL....I wouldn't copy mine right now wait till I redo it......I will get some pics once they settle. I got a little sloppy with the glue on a couple that had small pieces of rubble hopefully they will slime the glue off...I would say out of the 14 there are 5-6 that are hot. The rest typical Florida ricordea which in itself are cool but nothing like the 5 or 6..
I got a reactor from Greyseas coming so hopefully I can use it to get rid of what is fueling this macro.....

The color morphs were a silver with yellow highlights under actinic it is kinda orange under daylights it is hard explain the color morph. Wait till I get a pic of it. The other one is a pink/peach with an under tone of yellow kinda it has a baby polyp bud still attached. So instead of the normal splitting it is budding off a polyp. In the 14 pack there were 2 green ones that are some of the brightest florescent green I have seen yet...I said earlier that I got sloppy with the glue but now it looks like they didn't have any issues with it and are opened up.....Everything looks great, I also did something I haven't done before with single polyps. I had a rock in the tank that was flat on the top with quite a bit of open space I glued have of the polyps to it and a another rock with the rest. So hopefully it will be cool looking once they all open up.
