Several people in this thread posted about their ricordea being eaten by unknown carnivores and several wondered about fireworms so I thought I'd post one to keep an eye out for on florida or caribbean live rock. Hermodice carunculata. A very beautiful worm as far as colors go but will eat any anemone and ricordea you will feed them. I had one eat all my aiptasia. Yay! wondered where they were going. Then all my ricordea and I caught up to him when he had a go at my big green bubble tip anemone in broad daylight. He had grown to an impressive 7 inches and was almost an inch wide. I grabbed a big tongs and flushed him. He was armed to the teeth with the "I will make your life hell on earth hairs of pain" you always read about. I wish I had him back now in his own little tank. Feed him aiptasia now and then, maybe the neighbors little yippy dog. I highly recommend them for eating those little buggers but they will turn your coral reef into a wasteland as they are supposed to eat coral in general not just ricordea. You don't want them hungry and in your tank.

[amashun]

Mate, i have both sps and corallimorphs, they both living happy in my system

[JackKerouac]

I'll follow your suggestion my friend.
They are so beautiful and colorful and I'll place them with some LPS in the bottom of my tank.
BTW you have a very nice collection

 

[amashun]

Thanks for your kind compliments. i'm trying to keep a mixed reef with sps and rics dominated.

Cheers
Adrian

Very nice collection Adrian!!

I use to run SPS with my rics but being so busy I soll all the corals except rics I now run a 75g all florida ric tank much easier to care for. Once I get a calcium reactor and a aquacontroller I will be going back to some SPS. But I must say the all ric tank is sweet
