Let's see those uncommon shroom color morphs

This was on Cherry Coral's site. Man is this one incredible ric!

that is one BEAUTIFUL ric
 
Looks like a very bleached Yuma. I nursed a couple like that back to health. There have been lots for sale online over here in that condition recently.

I thought like that at first, but know that this supplier is high end and is selling this thing for $110 per polyp, so really hard to believe, but the pic imo looks photoshoped and it also lacking pure solid color's which can be a plus or a negative to some collectors.

imo

I look for solid pure bright color's and this is dull faded but unique.

imo it has it's own beauty, but at the same time I don't honestly believe that the majority of collector's would pay this type of money on uniqueness alone. Just the ones that want something different.

Which I think should dramatically decrease the value due to lack of potential interest.

Now if the color's were pure and solid it would demand the $110 imo

But at the same time, some people also like those weird looking clown fish's, so who knows?

I still like this one better

For around the $100 mark and it's a ric not a yuma

But at the same time, I could be wrong and am probably wrong. thought's?

No question the first pic you posted is a poorly, bleached Ricordea Yuma (has verrucae around the mouth, Florida does not), and in very poor condition IMO. $110 a polyp....that's just dishonest. Maybe worth $5, on the understanding that it might not make it and there is little indication of what colour it would be if it did, although my bet would be on brown with orange highlights.

The second pic you posted is a very nice Ricordea florida. However I'd be wary of the amount of Actinic/LED supplementation shown in the pic, It might look a lot different in reality.

Over here LED supplementation is common. It's amazing what putting your hand in front of the pink/purple/royal blue LED light does. Purple Yumas, become brown, because they never were purple. Pink yumas become bleached orange, because the pink comes from the LED etc.

That picture is from Cherry Corals, from what I read it's very WYSIWYG. Unless someone can correct me. I haven't ordered from him yet.
 
Maybe this picture will be less blurry.
