Blue ricordia

[God of thunder]

Hi.

What is the best way to help blue ricordeas spread?

Patience is the best way in my opinion. Things take time.

and they take alot of time. Ricordea are very slow growers. You can cut them in half and it is a litle quciker but the polyps end up being smaller for awhile. I have some ricordea that have split, some that left babies and some that have done nothing, just got bigger.

Feed them, they will grow faster.

Blue rics, in my experience, dont like alot of light. Seems the oranges/golds/yellows can handle full light, but blue/green/purple dont do so well in it.

I feed mine small bits of shrimp ever couple weeks and reef chili. It has increased their multiplication.

need to be target fed for faster results!!

Should i just place a shrimp on them or brine?

 

[SaltyDr]

Can use brine shrimp or just a very small piece of a raw cocktail shrimp. Place it directly on top and it will slowly engulf it. I have to be careful because if the hermits get a wiff of the shrimp, they'll steal it from the ric.

I wasn't sure if they would take food or not, but I sprayed them with mysis a few times now I will do it every time
