new pink yuma richordia i picked up for $25 i think i got a steal what do u guys think?

 

[littlebuck]

25?!?!?! At my LFS, thats a JIP!! But IDK, it kinda depends where u live. Some LFS's have yumas pretty cheap (one polyp like yours for 10-15) and others are outrageous (as high as 50 dollars, at one fish store I dont go to in my area for ONE polyp!)

 

[reefiness]

i think it was a good deal, around here they usually do for like 35

 

[murph145]

yeah its wierd cuz i will see some of them for 50-60 bucks so i thought it was an ok deal... hmmm lol oh well at least i felt good when buying it lol

 

[underoath1]

yeah hey i really think that is ricordia florida. i have tons of that stuff. i will try to post some pics soon but yeah i think its florida and in that case you probably paid too much. i mean i dont know how much that stuff is in cali but yeah. my 2 cents.

 

[murph145]

hmm... great i thought i had a deal now i didnt lol!
oh well u live and u learn....
if u have tons send some my way!!!

Yup, that's a ric florida, not yuma. They usually go for about $15 per polyp locally here.
I've got a few of my own too..

BTW, a pink ric yuma usually sells for around $100-120. A true red yuma goes for about $150-200.

in that article u say yumas have a neon green ring around the mouth .... mine has one too.... mine isnt expanded enough right now to see the vesicles if they go up the mouth part or not so i dont know about that yet....
what do u think viper?

 

[viper_930]

From what I've seen most yumas do have the green ring along the hypostome, but I've also seen a few floridas with the same trait.
Yours is a Ric florida, 100% sure. Nice piece, nevertheless.

beatifulllll

 

[puffer32]

So what is mine, I paid 15 here in Pa? Its

got 2 mouths, does anyone know why? Can only see 1 in the pic.

 

[viper_930]

puffer32, yours is a ric florida. 2 mouths means it is beginning to split.

i need to head out your way, because in my area of michigan his ric would go for well over 50 bucks...
