Indentifying Rics

[joetekyun]

Hey guys, I got these three rics for $35. My question is, are any of them yumas, and how much do you think each one is normally? Did I get a good deal?

Thanks,
Joe

Bottom one looks like a yuma to me, $35 for 3 rics is a good deal I would think.

The first and second appear to be Florida from the color. The third seems to be a yuma from the polyps on the mouth. I like the first myself. They would go for around 20 apiece around here so you did real good.

Sweet! Yumas are generally more expensive than floridas right?

did those babies come with the bigger one on the first picture? ITs a good deal and if those babies came with, its a steal. Just the yuma alone on the bottom picture is worth 35

Yes, the babies came with it Now I'm very happy. Thanks guys!

The last ric is a (common name) Flower Ricordea Yuma Mushroom- so a Ricordea Yuma. The other two are both Ricordea Florida. The way to tell, is when looking at the mouths, 9 times out of 10, the Yuma mouths are raised from the base of the polyp, and with florida's, they are usually lower than the base of the polyp.

IMHO, I think you got a really good deal. Florida's in my area go for at least $22 a polyp, and that Flower Yuma, usually goes for $70/80.......Enjoy, great looking corals
