Ricordea Placement

[machadolucasvp]

Hello Guys!

I'm new here and my tank as well. It's a 24 gal tank. I bought one Ricordea Yuma but I'm struggling to decide where I should put her.

It follows the image where it is right now

I don't want this ricordea to be the main attraction of the tank, I want to buy a rainbow Florida to be.

I'm worried about if it will overgrow this rock (not sure if they are like SPS and xenia) since I want to place some blastmussas on the side and a few LPS or SPS on the top. Do you guys think they will overgrow? Should I change place? Where? I'm open to any suggestions.

Note: the wavemaker on the left is off right now, waiting to have the need of more flow in order to decide where to place as well

@fishguy242 thanks for the tag
They will definitely fill that rock once they start reproducing they reproduce fairly quickly. Some yummas don't play nice. I've been successful at mixing color morphs.
