ricordea florida usually come attached to small stones or unattached. to frag it, just cut it in half and let it heal. you may need to glue it on the rock after it heals, or let it naturally attach itself (which may take quite long).

if not fragging, just stick the small stone to wherever you wanna place it.

they are expensive because they come from carribean =.=

bro u mean without 2 heads from a pc, yet we all can cut it into 2pcs and frag it???

if 1 ricordea (yuma or florida) has only one mouth, cut through the middle of the mouth and both halves will heal into a full ricordea.

in the event you miss the middle of the mouth, and end up with a full mouth on one frag and the other frag without a mouth, the other frag will/might heal and grow a new mouth (as what terryz has mentioned)

Can see the difference? Prices vary according to market demand, availability, colours and where they originate from.

How to ID...

Ricordea Yuma: Many many small "bubbles" or "tentacles" all over, including tiny bumps around the mouth.

Ricordea Florida: Many many small "bubbles" or "tentacles" all over, but none around the mouth.

Mushroom: Depending on which species, can be virtually smooth or have bumps and ridges.

See pics above for reference, this is just my own layman's understanding. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

yumas have irregularly shapes bubbles and bumps. giving it a rough, warty lookign surface.

rics have smooth round and somewhat similar shaped bumps. the bubbles and bumps are very tightly spaced giving it a very "bunch of grapes" look.

also, rics never appear in any other shipment except carribean.

There are cheap yumas too, quite common with indo shipments. As I said, prices depend on a lot of factors, mainly colour and demand. $5 for a rock of yuma is not unusual.

Depends on how much you pay for it. A lot of money = expensive. Less money = cheap.

What kind of question is this??? :chair:

Edit: Sorry if my tone sounds harsh, but seriously the value of your corals is determined by how much you like it. How much you pay at the shop is another matter.
