Uncommon Ric Color Morphs

[Bongo Shrimp]

So, what are some of the more uncommon ricordea florida (or yuma) color morphs?

Specifically, I've been looking for some pink rics but they don't seem to be as common as the orange or green ones.

Also, I've always wondered: Is there such a thing as a RED ricordea florida? :bounce2:

Yuma's are not from the caribbean as the Rics are. They come from the Indo area

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

But what does that have to do with color?

As an example, is this a morph that you ric fanatics might describe as uncommon or rare?

 

[Crazy Tiki]

rainbow and blue tend to be more expensive don't know if they are more rare.

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

What do you consider rainbow? Some eye candy can never hurt here people...

[Bongo Shrimp]

Bump, anyone else?

Here is my ric rock

A few uncommon ones not my pics but I do have one of each that I picked up from paradice corals about a yr ago

Teh ones JR showed are rare in the hobby...The pink ones you showed Bongo are pretty rare but not as much now with a certain vendor that seems toget these in the fall....I have all the ones JR showed and pinks, I also have some others that are not seen alot....CoralMorphologic gets quite a bit of rare color morphs you will not see anywhere else.....Paradise corals was getting some hot rics but has shut his stuff down to move.

There are no true red Florida ricordea.....A Canadian site Reefraft gets some really odd hot rare color morphs as well. But we can't get stuff from them due to import regulations.

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Yeah I've been to Tomasz place and seen his stuff. I should have grabbed some of his when he had them.

Here's his personal best that were/are not for sale:

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Oh, and whats the "certain vendor" you speak of?

 

[Azurel]

CoralMorphologic......I wasn't sure if they were a vendor here, so I wasn't going to post their name but did anyway.....80% of my rics have come from them and I would say about 15 are first offering(rare) color morphs.....

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Mmmhm. I've been watching and waiting for something I like to come up there.

 

[FrankenReef]

coral morphologic is a sponsor I believe. Those rics that were posted are quite impressive. How much to rics of that caliber (crazy color) typically cost?

 

[maynardjames]

20 to 30 something for most on coralmorphologic
some a little higher. they always have some nice ones

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Yeah, I just grabbed these off morphologic on wednesday:

I don't know if they are a special color morph or anything. I just love the bright blue.

I'm thinkining about this one though...

 

[Bonvivant]

Very nice.

 

[TechStar]

i think i may have found a new fav coral....

 

[fstar25]
