LOLOLOLOLOL! nice one bino!

whahaha funny post of the day!

[raydiative]

Lol... bino you're damn irritating.. hahaha...

well... generally in reefing, most corals that is blue/red/yellow/purple/pink are more expensive..

[albinosage]

Me? Irritating?

To add on to your general guide on how corals are priced, those with exotic sounding names will fetch premium prices also. Like the million and one zoas with fancy names, that's why those US websites love to discover and name zoas so much haha.

Brown and dull coloured corals are less desirable, but you can call it Kinder Surprise and put a high price tag on it. Learn from MOSSrope one haha.

Lol... one thing to note about yumas and floridas..

floridas generally have more constant bubble sizes... the bubbles on yumas normally differenciate by quite abit..

for me, they thrived better in nutrient rich water, propagated more also.. just my opinion in my experiences with them..

They will do better in nutrient laden water... But they are fine with low nutrient tanks...

Depends on the color of the yumas.. You will have to play around with them.. From what i see, Pink and Blue require strong light but they are very easy to get "light shock" and cooler the water the better...

[allantang]

the actual scientific name will be Ricordea florida (rics)

and Ricordea yuma (yumas)

wow.. somehow.. i hve the impression that lemon is the walking reef dictionary in Reefclub.. =P
