Lets see your pink/red ricordea floridas

[haulme]

I dont have any actinics on my nano, but here is the best pinky shot I can get of mine. Doesnt look as pink as it does in real life. I have never seen one for sale again in the UK. Its huge as you can tell, I have put a 50p piece in there as a sign.

No yumas on this thread though please

Shrunk about 1/4 size when I put the coin in there

Wouldn't putting a coin in there contaminate the tank?...?

 

[haulme]

yes I think it would, all 5 seconds that it was there when taking the picture

Here are just a few of mine. Someone in here better not post a red ricordea. Cause Ive been looking for one. LOL

Here is some true pink Florida ricordea....The problem with most online sites that sell them is the rics they have are actually more peach and sometimes orange that they call pink......Lighting also plays a role in what color they look like....
I moved this rock up about 3 inches to get a little brighter light and get the colors more intense like the last ric...The ric in the 4th pic you can see behind the rics in the first 2 pics...

Probably the brightest pink Florida ricordea I have ever seen.....

HOLY bubble algea batman !!!

 

[StephenInVa]

Just got this today. Very vivid pink. Digi cam of course doesn't show it.

 

[SaltyDr]

Not bubble algae but grape caulerpa. It can be a pest too.

This fellow (nano-reef DOT com/featured/?tank=14) at nano-reef has the most impressive red ricordea yuma I've ever seen. Check it out.

Also, why does it automatically change the web address I entered to reefcentral.com? Ridiculous...

Azurel: that last picture is AMAZING. I've never seen a ric FL. that pink.

Do you remember where you got it?

I got it from a friend in Florida, he is out of the hobby now and before he sold off everything I bought a rock 10 polyps that that one came from.......Under less intense light it turns a paler pink, under direct MH lighting it turns that bright pink like that......I have gotten only 2 polyps reproduced from the particular polyp so I now have 3 once I get a few more I will be sharing them with the reefing community......
