pics aren't doing justice...
I was at the LRS today and got a gorgeous ricordea. Little beauty is mint green and baby pink  And only cost me $10/head. I got it on some rock with a good sized chunk of gray encrusting sponge on it, and the rock had some blue finger sponge(tiny) though I don't think I got any of that on my rock.

Nice addition! I got lucky with my rics. I actually asked for them to be ordered for me but they didn't come in and he was told they were out of stock and would be for a while. Couple weeks later went in to just look around and found they had came the next day but lost he had lost my phone number. Well by this time they were quite ticked, we believe they were used to high light and his tank is set up for low light corals. He sold me the rock with about 15 diff. rics for 15.00! Well within an hour of adding to the tank they swole up and looked gorgious!

Hmm, mine is a bit ticked looking. The two mouths seem to usually be open, and it isn't really plumped up at all, though it also still has that amazing colour. Could it just be that I haven't found a spot it likes/it's not used to low pc lights since it was in halides at the LRS? I've tried to feed it and it'll usually take cyclops granules, though it doesn't seem to like squid(tried that yesterday while feeding the clowns) paramaters are still fine, and everything else is doing well in there.

Anyone? It has since stopped trying to eat most of what I've got on hand. It also looks like both are trying to slide off of my rock onto the sand. I have 2 other rics in there, both are doing great. Eating with gusto, plump and happy looking. These two are in the same area of the tank(not touching anything) as the others are.

Gil,
sounds liek they just dont like where they are, how much flow are on them right now?
if it is too much they will detach. since they came froma MH system, you can try moving them closer to the PC lighting but over all they should do fine

They don't have much flow. They're sitting on the sand bed(on their rock) in the middle of the tank. Should I be trying to get them more flow? Or keep them in less?

Okay. This morning I put them at the top of the tank. I'll see how they do there.
