Looking for Yuma

[killereef]

anybody has any colorful Yuma for sale

 

[killereef]

No one has any yumas or colorful ricordia

 

[phudeb]

No one wants to sell to you dumba**.

You're just going to kill it anyways.

 

[killereef]

You are so stupid

:lol:

FWIW Nice tank raised yuma are pretty hard to find and when you find them they are very expensive......$70 - $150 a polyp IME.

R. florida are much cheaper but the colorfull ones are also fairly expensive IMO.

still haven't figured out the difference between florida and yuma...

 

[killereef]

What is the difference?

 

[greystreet41]

I don't know other that an avg of 5 bux a polyp vs. 75+

 

[killereef]

that's right

 

[KAiNE]

as far as i know...........

The difference is "Location, Location, Location"

Florida = Caribbean
Yuma = Pacific

 

[gflat65]

It has to do with the bumps around the mouth (or lack thereof), as I underastand it. R. yuma's have bumps immediately around the mouth and R. florida's, don't.

Copied and pasted -

Ricordea yuma originate in the Indo-Pacific region. Ricordea yuma is typically larger than its cousin Ricordea florida. Typical Ricordea yuma appear in greens and oranges of various intensities. Rare specimens of the coral may be deep red and/or hot pink. The spirocysts on Ricordia yuma appear to vary, in size, shape and density from Ricordea florida. Another noted difference between Ricordea yuma and Ricordea florida are disk colorations. Ricordea yuma shows only some minor variation in disk color while Ricordea can have 6 or more colors.

That is all great, but does anyone has any to sell...I'm just joking....I guess no one has any

There are plenty of wild ones around (Yuma), but the success rate on those is pretty poor. BTW, they're quite easy to tell apart once you've seen a few.
