florida and yuma together?

[TeMa]

Can I put floridas and yumas together or do they burn each other?

Normally they're fine together. They don't have sweepers or anything, so they can get pretty close to other corals without incident too. In my experience, ricordea are more in danger from SPS corals than they are from ricordeas.

Of course, now that I said that, yours will kill everything within 50 paces, including the neighbor's cat.

By the way, floirda and yuma have different light preferences, yuma tend to like subdued light and the floridas will take almost as intense as you can get. That may change your choices as to how close they are.

This is Yuma (orange) and Florida (green) growing together.

I have those same yumas in high and lower lighting and they all do fine. They obviously are different colors and textures (some lighter and tighter), but they all grow and propagate

Thanks for your help! Ricordea is kind of rare here in Norway and the knowledge is very limited. My pink/red yuma can take a lot of light so i think it will be doing fine with the floridas then thanks guys

very nice garden citychen888!
