Hello. First post here, bear with my noobness. I ordered some Florida ricordea from a few different online places. These look a little different and wondering if they could be something else. They all are labeled florida ricordea and supposedly all collected from Florida waters. Other than not being very colorful (which for the low price is totally what I expected) the tentacles shape is different. They are also very hungry and quite a bit stickier than my others. I had to pull a snail out of one and one actually grabbed onto my finger. The regular ones do not do that, they are more dainty eaters usually refusing food and preferring to lay sprawled out on the rock absorbing light.

#2 two mouths, super long tentacles and more fleshy area between the tentacles.

Last picture has a bud sprouting from the foot. This is from a normal blue one (not not the weird ones but need to wait till it lifts its skirt again to be sure). I didn't think ricordea reproduce this way.
