florida or yuma?

[kristytang]

i picked up some rics the other day. i was hoping they would get some color back since they were at the VERY top of a reef tank, and they are on their way. theyve gone from white to a maroonish/orangeish color! the rock had about 7 big heads on it plus a few smaller ones and the guy practically gave it to me. that being said, he didnt know what it was and neither do it (well, i know its a ric but what kind?) hopefully someone knows, my photos arent the best (new camera, here i come).

Yuma.

thank you! how can you tell the difference (so i dont have to ask in the future)?

Well once you see enough you can tell the difference right away, but the rule is if it has the little tentacles on its mouth then its a yuma. Floridas have a distinct mouth that is completly bare of tentacles.

Those look like yuma's to me too!

Mouth sort of bubbles out on rics...Tentacles shaped differntly on yumas generally too, right?
