We just picked this yuma up today, pic of it still acclimating in a dish.
Acclimate a Yuma??? Why??? Do they die that easily?? I just throw coral right in my tank after equalizing temp.. Maybe if i got like an expensive chalice i would acclimate but other than that no. Fish i do..
Do they die that easy? Short answer is yes they do. They in my opinion and many other collectors of ricordea have had issue after issue with yumas. They can do good for months, years and for what ever reason just melt within days. With no reason or obvious reason for the melting.....I have been through 11 Hot pink yumas and have 0 to show for my money. I have done it both ways acclimate, no acclimation, temp acclimate only and have had them melt in each instance....I have also had them live and be fine in each instance as well....But as far as them being that easy to die I would put them up there with indo elegance corals.

i have other yumas that i dont have any problemswith:bigsmile: lots of neon green yumas with pinkish purple base on steroids keeps dropping babies.....and tangerine yuma...and orange yuma with green base and orange yumas...will post pics later:haha:
Man that sucks I hate stories like that.
Yup that is typical......I don't like yuma being shipped on heavey rock or large rock pieces...I have learned over the years after spending $1000s that there are certain things that give you a better chance with ultra yumas and photoacclimation is #1.
I am such a rookie
You gotta start somewhere! Just not sure that this is the right place to be showing this off. Hey I have $15 invested.I know that this isn't quite up to the bar set by everyone else. But you gotta start somewhere. :wink:
