There isn't a real big depository of information on them as a whole. The only thing I can tell you to do is look through RC and find threads on yuma and ricordea care. Also google ricordea care and read what comes up and maybe ever redefine what you search a couple of time that way different things might come up....
What specifically do you want to know?

Ummm... thats a long list. LOL
The 3 areas I want to know more about at this moment is:
- Are any preferred water parameters for them (temp, SG, PH, KH , Etc...)
- What live stock would make poor tank mates
- Any major differences (or requirements) for keeping floridas v.s. yumas?
- How the heck does anyone make real progress sifting through
all these threads and not spend 95% of your time drooling over these pics? :lmao:

As far as water parameters they do good like any coral with parameters that are in line.
SG-1.025/.026
KH 8-10
Ca-400-450
As far as tank mates anything that would pick at them like some fish that are coral nippers etc...There really isn't to many that pick on yumas. The biggest differance between the two is lighting. Yumas do not like high lighting without slow photo acclimation. While Floridas will take just about all that you can trow at them...Yumas tend to be alot more sensitive to changes in water and lighting then most corals and shrooms.
It's an addiction so make sure ou are ready to handle it before you dive in. It's really no differant then the zoa, chalice or favia addictions...

Thanks Azurel ,
That's about what my research has lead me to believe and so far I believe I should be able to support everything I plan to buy.
15-20% RO/DI water changes weekly
75G with a pair of Koralia 3's
4" DSB and 100 lbs of live rock
30G sump w/10 gal fuge, DSB and some rock rubble (cheato next week)
Tunze skimmer
Tank has been up for a year, sump/fuge for 9 months:
SG - 1.024
Amonia -0
KH - 8
PH 8.2
Phosphate 0
trItes and trAtes are both 0
Ca - 500-520
I've been keeping the livestock fairly low until I make a decision on what direction I want to go.
Tomato Clown
Diamond goby
A couple feather dusters
Assorted crabs & snails
Serpent Star
OK, starting to feel like I'm hijacking... LETS SEE SOME MORE OF THOSE YUMAS & RICS!!!

Good to know, I recently received new light from the missus (Yes, REALLY :lmao: ) I guess the yumas should go under ledges and in cave entrances since i got 2 x 250W MH now....
Doing my best to make sure I am ready:
