ricordia help needed

[ultimatemusky]

Okay, so I acquired some green ric's via mail order. When they arrived they were shrivelled and very pale, almost white, I placed them in indirect light to allow them to acclimate. They expanded but gained little to no color. I contacted the seller they told me to put them in direct light, which I did, I still am not seeing any improvement in color after 5 days. IME with other corals I thought that it was a bleaching thing happening, any help would be appreciated.

They could very well be bleached. They normally aren't pale. The light should bring them around, but i'm not sure how long that will take.

I agree, hang in there. Are you dosing any Lugol's or Iodine? That may help them, just a shot in the dark. I know Zoos and Shrooms like/need iodine. Maybe it'll help them perk up.

In the meantime, a little Goooooz Frabbahhhhh.

As long as they are opening they should be ok ,I had some that took about a month to color up.

Thanks everyone, the sellers told me to call back in a week or so if they didn't color up. I don't know what they are willing to do for me quite yet, but I will call them with an update. Thanks again
