i can't seem to get a picture but my yuma has a swell on one of it's bubbles, it has all it's color and no sign of it dying... the only explination "I" can come up w/ is that it's turning into a yuma??
Is my normal ricordia turning into a yuma??

DO you mean the swelling is turning into another yuma? Normally baby yumas, so-to-speak, will be a left behind portion of the yumas foot as it moves a little to the side. Then the left behind portion will grow into a new yuma, much like most corallimorpharians. Ricordea floridas and some other mushrooms split instead of leaving behind a nub. Don't know what the swelling coould be. It will probably dissapear over the coarse of a day or two. Probably nothing.

Thanks, my ricordia has two heads and will eventually split but it is still one peice. there's a bulb on the ricordia (best i could explain) that is swelling like a yuma it's been there for a 2-3 weeks. 
There's the image Finally!!

If you mean 2 mouths then yes, it could eventually split, but doesn't mean it will 100% guaranteed. I have ricordeas with many mouths that have been like that for over a year.
The pic is difficult to see anything but if it is a single spirocyst that is swollen that is nothing to be concerned with and doesn't really mean anything. If you wanted you could take a clean chisel and remove the ric from the rock leaving some rock attatched, take a clean pair of cutters and split the rock in two, hopefullysplitting it about center of the two mouths, cut through the ric with a clean pair of scissors and place them back in the tank where there is moderate flow. Add some iodine per directions to the tank to aid in its healing, then you will have two. One with a swollen spirocyst (which could be turning into another mouth), and one without.
