Thanks everyone for sharing great shots of rics and mushrooms. Is there a trick on special feeding, water parameters or husbantry could be followed?
I added a fiter sock about 6 weeks ago and just removed it after realizing my mushrooms got smaller. I just added 12 rics, but expect the sock was removing the nutrients needed by both the rics and mushrooms.

The green getting more yellowishheres one of mine seem fairly common. This one is high up on my reef and grew 2 or 3 more since i got it in the summer.
Not rare at all but my favorite ricordia is green i recently got these ones

I run polyfiber in a plastic mesh sock that gets replace every few days. Ricordeas are one of the things that do exceedingly well in my tank but i'm not 100% sure why. I do keep a fairly "dirty" tank, just dirty enough to grow a bit of nussiance algae. I only use about 2 cups of carbon (per month) in a 140g of water and a skimmer rated for a 75g tank.
Thanks! The tank has been through alot of changes over the last 1 1/2 years, it's finally starting to come together. To get a compliment on the tank made my day.

these threads are hard to look at!
when you see these coral specific thread with the show me titles, it makes you itch to get some. =) some ricordia that is.
nice pics, ill have to post up a few of mine when my camera charges up.
a buddy gave me some free yumas the other day, they are brown, but they have the sickest brightest neon pink lines in them i have ever seen.

Not sure they are rare, but not common. Picked them up as "cuban" rics. Meh, don't really care if they are or aren't...just like the different colors they have:
those purple with green skirts on the bottom right are beauty's!
Thanks Peter. I have been a huge fan of R. Florida even before they became a popular coral. I had my first Rics in 1990.

What's that blue, orange, and black thing in the top left corner?

:lol: Me too!! Some blue ones with a single orange one came in on a GIANT rock. Back then you only bought whole rocks of mushrooms. Never did know what they were until YEARS later...
