Also, have any of you ever fragged a Ric before by cutting one into 4 four pieces? I've don't it successfully with the Hairy Mushrooms that I have. I would imagine it would be very similar with the Ric. I don't know because I can't bring myself to cut such a beautiful thing.

Lol, where else, Florida! I have a great hook up for Ricordia. The shop allows me to pick from the owners private stash because I buy a lot when I go in.

No, the Yuma I got local. When ever I go the a LFS it always takes me some time to find the good stuff like Ricordia or Yuma. It's like it's always hiding or something. I look over the tanks 3-4 times and then there it is. The LFS usually have crappy lighting and bad water quality so they look different in there tanks. I have always loved Ricordia and always search for it and the Yuma. It's cool when they spilt huh? It looks like there tearing. I just cut it with scissors and bam!

My Hairy Mushrooms are nice and meaty! lol I've successfully cut 2 out of 2 in 4 pieces each. Then I stuck the pieces in a bowl with small pieces of LR so that they will attach themselves. They healed really fast. I got the idea from a YouTube video. The only thing that I didn't do was stick them in a container with saltwater and a drop of iodine immediately afterwards. Just because I don't have any iodine. But I def want to get some for future frags.

Those are awesome! Is that a red one on the right? Or is that Yuma?
they're all rics.
there are 3 of those, two on the right, one on the left (small one) they are almost red, more like orangy-rust-red. picture is a pretty accurate example of the color.
weird thing, under my led lighting they were yellow! under the 14k mh they are completley different...

I like how the rics are blended in well with the reef.
I have fragged the lime green one, but only because it had two mouths. I have heard that you can segment these ricordia into four pieces, but I was told the survival rate is 50-75%. With that in mind, fragging a ricordia with two mouths and separating the two from one another is probably a much better survival rate. IMO it is speeding up the splitting process.
When I fragged the lime green one (donated it to the Cal Academy of Sciences Caribbean Exhibit) it healed overnight...

I've cut them. They are easy, just like mushrooms.
Cut it off the rock, cut it like a pie, use Bridalveil to attach them to rocks, and they will heal up and grow.
