Where do y'all get your cool ricordea from?

[Anonymous]

I'm seeing all these cool color morphs of ricordea, and was wondering where everyone acquired theirs from. Orange, purple, blue, pink, neon green, bi-colors and tri-colors...where are they coming from?

I acquired a rock with about 30 olive green ones on it, and I like it so much I'd like to put some different colored ones around that rock's area in the tank...like a ricordea grotto, if you take my meaning.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Peace,

Chip

If I told I would have to bite the cyanide capsule in my mouth.

Seriously though I get mine locally. Infact they had some pinkish and orangeish ones laying around for a few weeks now.

Well, that sucks. They don't ship, do they?

Anyone else know where to procure some coolness ricordeaness besides eBay?

Peace,

Chip

Friday,I was in Tropicorium and they had a few different colors of ricordia polyps, and I am pretty sure they ship.

The best selections I think are at Palmetto, ecorals and Dr Mac has a new ricordea section.

Actually, it looks like they only have individual polyps...I'm looking for colonies of at least 4-5 polyps per rock, and more if possible.

Thanks for the help.

Peace,

Dr Mac has some colonies. Ecorals had a big multi colored colony a couple of weeks ago so I would check with him. Ebay has colonies usually.

I know this may be a little off topic, but has anybody bought Live Corals off of ebay? What kind of success rate have you had if you have won an auction before? I have bid on other items, but never a "live" item on ebay so I am a little leery. Thanks.

Where were you about 2 weeks ago Chip: I had a handful of orange/blue and purple/green ricordea's I was selling off out of my tank. They're pretty much all gone now (might have 1 orange left if the bugger hurry's up and splits). I got mine at the LFS's in Buffalo a few summers ago, but there's bunches floating around in our reef club.
I think however, so long as the market supports people selling them at inflated prices, you may be hard pressed to find any from a hobbiest at a reasonable price.
