placement and light for my new ric

[ezhoops]

I've kept rics before but not in my new set up and want to provide the best habitat for them to be happy and multiply.

I recently bought a orange ric with two green mouths.
Where do I place it? what type of flow?

set up
250 HQI MH, 100 W PC actinic
Dart CLM = lots of flow

You will be fine some where down low in the tank with medium flow. They can bleach if you put them up too high under the 250.

seems to be happy where it is but it still might have too much flow, not opening up all the way.

i got a rock with 4 rics that had 2 mouths, 1 has 3 mouths and another even had 4 mouths. im not sure if that realy means their going to split. im about to take a razor blade and "split" them myself. lol.

then after they have all split and healed, off with a few heads, i gota get some fragged to trade to a friend.

total, i think i have like 8 ricordias and 17 mouths. lol.

they are dark green with glowing green mouths. even under regular light the mouth glows. under blue lights, they are bright green almost neon yellow
