SRC Member Jimng Posted October 29, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 29, 2004 Here's one of recent acqusition.... I really hope there are some findings on the reason for Rics to sometimes just behave stressed and melt away - what to do if that happens - and the percentage chance of saving them.....tis just so sad if beautiful shrooms gets waste away.......slowly........ Quote My Tank Thread Part I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Rics waste away sometimes because the reefers do not provide them with the necessary conditions to grow and thrive. Rics require much more lighting than other mushies and I sometimes see people placing them in shaded areas But with propagation, we can ensure that nice strains are retained and distributed.

blueheaven Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Yes, another factor would be acclimatization Some people just throw the rics into the tank and blast away with MH Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

Terryz_ Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Agree with lightningstrike... They will bleach if you put them under strong light immediately... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 What I ment stronger lighting is compared to normal discosomas or rhodactis Of course MH can be used but the specimen must be placed far away from it Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

Sometimes i just wonder .....there are folks that find them growing like weeds and call them nuisance whereas some experience the rare ones as extremely difficult to propagate...... here's another one of my yuma in memory .......there are 3 of these on the branch rock and all 3 wasted away one after another, the rest of the yumas in my tank are thriving then........ later i found a "FIREWORM" - really red one digging in and out of the rock branch.....that worm died a terrible death........

lightningstrike Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 how do you tell the different between them....me not a mushroom guy although i suspect i have yuma somewhere melting in my tank......use to be darn cheap... an abstract from this month's reefkeeping online magazine. There are two widely recognized species of Ricordea, R. florida from the Atlantic and Caribbean, and R. yuma from the Indo-Pacific region. Both are very popular in the aquarium trade. Ricordea yuma is readily distinguished from R. florida by the fact that the former has pseudotentacles on the ###### cone, while the latter does not. Also, R. florida often has numerous mouths and elongated irregular polyps, while R. yuma is usually circular, with one mouth. All are spectacular due to the grape-like tentacles on their ###### disc, but some especially prized specimens have brilliant fluorescent proteins in shades of orange, red, pink, blue, and green. the original article on Corallimorpharia can be found here. happy reading.
