I live near one of the largest LFS in the country and they charge $25 bucks per polyp on green ric's . . . and thats on sale! :scared:

I ordered the five pack from this site months ago and love them_ I think I received one orange, one blue and three green. They've thrived and split for $5 each.

Paradise sure has a lot of stuff but i wish he would put some prices on the tanks. but as long as he knows you i think you get a better price i got mine for $10 two orange ricordias on a two pound rock

my lfs doesnt even get them in...

How long do they take to split... I thought about ordering one from swf.com... or a group of 3 anyway

 

[j21kickster]

they should split in about a month- mabye a tad bit longer- provided they have the right growing conditions

 

[neowind]

Wow how do you get your tank that color??? That is the coolest color I have ever seen

 

[j21kickster]

I have it lit with a 20K 250W MH- glad you like it

Not sure a general statement can be made on this. I have florida rics that never split - they just get bigger and bigger and grow additional mouths - I have one that has at least 6 mouths...
I also have yumas all from the same original one - some split when they're no bigger than a quarter, some just grow and grow. I have one that's about 6 inches across that shows no sign of splitting.
Strange things. BTW - good score on the $8 ric - still not understanding why you cant get good zoos for that price?

Kip- is a standard ballast- the corals seem to flouresce just about the same under the 20K XM as they did under the PCs- great color though
Kistheeze- the ricordea i was speaking of was my yuma(s)- not flordia- but i know what you mean- most of mine grow to a couple of inches than split- i dont have any yumas over 2.5 inches. But..... it was a good deal- but on the zoanthids- rare colors are big bucks
