Hot Pink Ricordias

[The Saltwater Kid]

Anybody know where to get hot pink ricordias online with reasonable shipping rates? Is sealifeflorida.com the best place to buy ricordias online?

 

[The Saltwater Kid]

If anybody has a hot pink frag (polyp) that they'd be willing to sell for a decent price please PM me!

Sealifeflorida.com is the most reasonable in my opinion, but they only sell Ricordea floridas. Pink ric floridas do exist (not for sale at sealifelofirda though as far as I know) but they aren't the hot pink ones you're referring to, which are Ricordea yumas.

I'd keep your eyes peeled on eBay if you can't find someone with one on here that is willing to sell it.

Dearly? I guess that's a matter of perception. I've sold baby Yuma pink's for between $75-$100 each. Not cheap but also rare for naturally propagated Yuma's. (I don't cut them, they spread naturally)

id like to see a pic of those..

Here are a few that I actually shipped out just yesterday. The color is a bit light since they are so small (half the size of a dime) but they get deeper pink/red as they get larger. They spread around the "mother" Ricordia and I just chip 'em off with a chisel (making sure to get the rock and not tear the tissue) and glue to a new one. There you have it, baby pinks

SWEET YUMAS..

 

[BigScott]

OOPS FLA RICS..

 

[Blazer88]

They are Yuma's and not Florida's. It just sort of looks like a Florida variety as they haven't developed many bumps on the mouth yet, but they eventually will look like big momma Ric:

I use the Canon Rebel XT and 100mm F/2.8 macro lens. Thanks for the comments.

Blazer, sorry to be a begger, but please add me to your waiting list.

Incredible color. What kind of lighting?

 

[nmprisons]

I have a hot pink and purple ricorida florida frag ... will try and post a pic tomorrow.

Blazer, I'm new to keeping rics so can I trouble you for a more detailed explanation of how you go about cutting the ric from the mother polyp? I have an orange Florida and it's really grown out from it's original spot, and has 4 "mouths". I'd like to trim it back or divide it up into smaller chunks but I have no idea how that works.

Here she is:

Thanks for any advice.

Get a razor blade, find a spot that makes you happy and slice firmly through it.

I wonder if I moved one of the babies of this proud mama to a tank w/halides, if they would color up as nicely as blazer's?

 

[Riona]

I dunno. My yumas melted in my 65 watt pcs(bottom of a 20 gallon tank. . .) so I wouldn't try halides if it was me, unless I had a spot that never got light.

 

[wantsalotta]

your yumas melted for some other reason than light, then, IMHO, or it was lack of light that killed them.
