great color, unique look
| Comments |
I love my first Ricordea. This is a very colorful addition to my tank...it really has a great look too. I get regular compliments on this from visitors who view my tank. I have mine on the bottom of my tank under 4 x 54w T5HO in a 55g long tank. mine had grown pretty quickly, nearly doubling in size in 3 weeks, granted it was only an inch wide when i got it. seems to be very hardy, although i keep my tank in good shape, but it did tolerate a spike to 40 ppm in nitrates when my urchin decided to spawn 3 times in a week

Great addition.
| Comments |
I bought 1 of these about a year ago. When I saw it in person I just thought it was amazing. It really stands out in my tank and always gets a lot of attention when people see it for the first time. The best part is that it wasn't very expensive and has split several times already. Usually very bright and colorful corals are expensive, so its nice to be able to get a beautiful piece for a reasonable price. This is a great coral for people who are new to the hobby since its fairly easy to take care of.

It was a fair price for a beautiful piece. It has split several times in a short time frame. And I really like looking at it with just the actinics on.

It was a little tough to get it to attach to the rock, because it would get blown away. But I just put it on a pile of rubble in a low flow area and it attached in a day or two.

Great centerpiec for a beginer tank
| Comments |
Easy to take care of. Like the water a little slow flowing and dirty. It does not handle bright light well but will find shade
|

Beautiful color.
Tolerant of water conditions that are less than perfect.
Does not seem to harm neighbors.
Less likely to be invasive like other shrooms

Very nice mushrooms...
| Comments |
Ricordia Mushrooms have long been a favorite of avid reef hobbyists. They generally have very unique, bright color patterns as well as a unique structure. Rics can be difficult to keep in higher flow/lighting tanks. They tend to do better with lower flow and lighting levels. They will multiply when they are happy and can cover a rock fairly quickly.

Incredible colors, unique looking structure, fast growers.

Can be difficult to keep in cleaner, high flow SPS systems.

ricordias
| General |
Ricordias look amazing and the first time I saw them I remember thinknig they looked like metallic button badges. I bought 2 one was orange and the second blue. The orange one has grown very well since I have had it however the blue one has shrank and looks no where near as good. This is strange due to the fact that they are both in exactly the same spot just a cm apart, same flow same light. The orange reacts fast to food and the blue does not, Im not sure if its a colour thing and different colours need different light but on the whole they are great corals and I cant wait till I have a rock filled with them. Buy one attached to a little bit of rock and save yourself hassle. |

Ricordeas are awesome
| General |
I am a ric junkie, my goal is to create a waterfall of ricordeas starting at the top of my rock formations and flowing down to the substrate. They grow well under most lighting, and offer a huge variety of color and texture to your tank. I recommend finding a bulk seller on ebay to get jump started. You will save $$$ and get a nice amount to start your addiction with |

Very colorful mushroom
| General |
overall it's a pretty ricordia. great for beginner level hobbyists. due to its size and its flexiblity, it can be used as a patch for any small area or weird shape rocks that other corals can't be placed. |
| Liked about it |
it has a bright and pretty pinkish color, an eye catching species. very hardy, doesnt require high light or high flow.
|
| Didn't like |
hard to keep it stay in put on rock because it would float with the presence of high flow, so make sure to keep it under low or medium flow.
