ric splitting question

[krylon fist]

i just bought a small ric that is splitting... it's orange and purple with some lavender looking color and the one splitting off it looks to be the apple green color.

is this possible for a ric to split into another color?

thanks for any input.

after looking at it more after it opened up, it kinda looks like it's just covering a tiny green ric.... i have pics i'll upload later on.

but as far as splitting, nobody's seen one split to a different color? still kinda new to these suckers.

sweet....well, maybe yours will be the first documented case.
Who knows.....

I doubt it is splitting into a new color morph.

My guess is:

1. You have a Ricordea florida that is covering another green polyp of the same species.
2. You have a Ricordea yuma that is completing pedal laceration and the new polyp has not developed its coloration, yet.

yeah, i think it's just covering a small polyp.... it just looked like it was splitting a few days ago when i first got it.

thanks for the help.

I have had some change colors but it was because they were under a rock and not getting the light that they needed. When they were placed out in the light they came back to the origonal color. If yours change please let us know. Some how they have to change I would guess that is why there are so many colors.
