The Ponk one I have that I bought from Dustin is easy 4'' around.......They blue one is about 2.5'' around, I don't think it liked the spot I had it so I moved it a bit from the current. Almost same spot as my pink one and the oink loves it and that one don't......Yea I though about that Early dawn as well...I had plans to make an order of about $350 about a week an a half ago. It was gonna be all yuma, but we lost power and I had to buy a generator cause there was no way my tank would have lived 4 days with no power. So then I sold some other stuff and was gonna make an order of $225 and later that day my Icecap shorted out and causght fire. So I had to get a supplimental light sustem......Needless to say I keep getting boned out of an order....But I did get a true pink Florida Ricordea that is coming this week. When I say pink I mean a real pink not an off orage color like most people call pink.....I will post pics of it once I get it.....You will need to post pics of those yumas as well....

I took the plunge and ordered that Summers Evening yuma. I was heartbroken when I went to pull it out of the bag and it was half melted. The water in the bag was extremely hot. It was packed very well, I don't blame Dustin, I think DHL had it sitting somewhere in very high temps. Dustin is a great guy though and said he will replace it. I think I may stick with the other colors rather than pinks or reds since I have not had much luck in the past with these. They seem to be very delicate and don't last long for some reason. I have about 20 yuma's in my tank that are doing great but I just don't know the secret about how to make the pinks or reds flourish. Do you guys have any long term success with these, if so could you share your knowledge.
seacritter, What a bummer, that is just plain crummy. I don't know about the pinks and reds either. I have had all the true pink Yumas (3 only) crash on me. I do have nice big red one with bluish green tips Yuma doing very well for me. It was sold as pink but I picked it up locally and knew it was more red. I think the really hot pink and true pink (not orangish/reddish pink) ones are quite fragile. If you can get one to live that seems to be the ultimate in Yuma keeping, lol. I am hoping the Giant Early Dawn is definately Pink pink and not more orange. We shall see. Since it is more blue/teal maybe it wont be quite as fragile. I am crossing my fingers. I am glad to hear Dustin is a stand up guy about his service and product. If these guys come in healthy and do well I will most certainly order again from him.

i do have some pinks and reds that are doing great. They are a little different species than the pinks that die often. They look like a cross between a yuma and a florida. The bad part about geting coral is you dont know how old they are. They could be old and ready to kick the bucket or just born and getting mature.

Sad to say I received my Yuma order yesterday and the Autumn Blaze and Giant Early Dawn were melted and fouled in the bag. The temp was excellent, the packaging was excellent, the Yumas were dieing...so sad, I could tell from what was left that they were spectacular. Dustin is doing right by me with no problem what so ever. I'll have have to find some new ones next go around and hope they ship better. I am really bummed as was Dustin
