This is the coral that is multiplying the fastest in my 2-year-old tank.

Here’s some nice photos showing my King Kongs. Top two are with an orange filter (Pencil case) and the bottom two are without any filter.

Ricordea Florida patch, maybe getting too cramped? (Started as two cheapie frags about 1 year ago)

so what happens when a ricordia splits?

i have a really nice green and yellow one that looks to be in the final stages of splitting. will the baby just fall off or stay on the same plug. what should i do?

It will attach to whatever it touches, typically. Putting ricordea on a pile rock rubble is a great way to get frags.

Wait for experts but I just let mine do whatever they want -- they seem to wander however they like.

Quick note --- I mangled the green one in post #626 in an ill-fated attempt to remove the frag disc that I THOUGHT it had completely wandered away from.
Long story short (((too late?))) --- all three sections were still connected and one edge of one was barely touching the edge of the frag disc. The whole patch pulled up with the frag disc.

Post #626 shows that it recovered fine and dismembered chunk is even growing on its own --- hard to see in upper-right of the top-down picture because it's kind of underneath the rest of the patch.

mines higher up in my tank, glued to an dead flowerpot coral head. its kinda on the face of the rock instead of the top. i think its just fall to the sand below- either way its my first mushroom to split and after GSP only the second i can register noticeable growth and thats cool

My two colonies from top down
I’ve got a few frags of my Yuma that are going to a new home tomorrow so that’ll be fun.

Beautiful rics guys!! I cannot believe I've only now discovered this thread. I still cannot get over that rainbow ricordea JenDub....that is just gorgeous!!! Like pookstreet, I used to have an immense collection of Florida rics and with neglect lost all but three of them Yumas were always unlucky with me until I got this mamma:

She really is that beautiful baby blue and bright orange. She's put out sooo many babies that now I need to thin them out a little and yes Bryan, you'll be getting some of them Oh, and I feed them mysis and they eat like pigs!

Whoa. Love that blue coloration
