Got it the other day, I know it is a Ricordea, but what kind?

 

[bigarn]

I could be wrong so wait for more responses.... but I think it's a Ricordea Florida.

 

[bot587]

Florida Ricordea, common name neon richordea.

 

[yosemite sam]

I think it's a R. florida too. How many mouths does it have? I could be wrong about this, but I think R. yumas always have just one mouth, but R. floridas can have more than one on the same polyp.

The guy I got it form did not know anything about it really, He said they maybe poisonous to the touch, but was not sure. I traded him some base rock fragments i had left over from awhile ago. As for the mouths, I do not know that either, do i need to feed it or will the lighting be sufficient? Is it normal to close up when 1st introduced to a tank? I acclimated him over 4 hrs (In between working)? The levels are Ammonia 0 Nitrates 0 nitrites 0 PH 8.3. Thanks for the help already. One more thing, as it grows does it split or does it need to be fraged?

 

[chevytrks]

florida ricordea, not poisonous to touch, pretty hardy guy you have there. Yuma has a distinclty different look to it

 

[aquaman]

Okay, I did the thing I can’t stand, I got a "life form" to care for before I know what it needs. What do I need to do for it, what conditions does it like i.e. current, lights etc, and do I need to feed it?

 

[tuningvis]

i feed mine some brine and mysis shrimp
med flow i'm guessing.. and they love light

 

[johnbaker]

whats up aquaman. would you be willing to send me a frag of that after i send you the finger leather?

 

[aquaman]

Sure, But i have never fraged anything before, and like I said in the other thread it is closed, kind of shrunk, Do you know anything about them and how to frag them. I have looked up some stuff on here about how to frag, but am not sure i will be doing it right. But i will sure try.

Opps, this is the other thread I was talking about. My Bad.

:hilarious

 

[searcher]

I think it's actually a rhodactis (Hairy mushroom). You can feed it if you want, but they spread and grow pretty fast on their own.

 

[mbowker]

ricordea, hairy mushrooms have more, ...hair.

I dont have one, but I have read (and also double checked with a search) that they spilt, you wont need to actually frag it. HTH.

My friend gave me this and she said it was a ricordea. this is a pic of it now. does it get this big?? some ppl were saying it was a frogspawn.

 

[locopride]

after a week of having it in there, this is what i found on the sand bed. So if someone can help me id this larger on than that will answer ur question, because it looks a lot like your little guy.

 

[bang guy]

Locopride - Sure looks like a Frogspawn to me.

 

[locopride]

[bigarn]

locopride
the first shot is a frogspawn. The second is a ricordea florida. IMO
