LOL. its not for sale. Ive been offered $400 for it more than once. partially pink yumas are not that hard to find. Solid hot pink ones, and large ones to boot arent too easy to come across. I got lucky and picked it up for a song(in relevance) from a guy breaking down a tank. Both of those in fact I got at the same time.

Babies arent for sale either. They are great trading ammunition, although I am talking about the second one i posted. I have had them for about a year and have yet to be able to get the truly solid colored one to drop any....and its on of the few things I have been actually target feeding to try to encourage this
There is one guy who has the craziest rainbow colored yuma ive ever seen who wants half of mine for it. He wants me to cut it and I have been super close to doing it.........but havent pulled the trigger yet. Im chicken

i think i heard that you can "cut" them off the rock then the base will regrow and you will have 2 use iodine when you do this and that should help them a lot i would not pry them off it dammages there feet as much as cutting em and you might as well cut that way one or both will hopefully make it (i am no expets but this is the way i would do it if i were to do it from all i have read )

you can cut them, but then you need to make a little tupperware "mushroom" bucket riddled with holes on the sides and top, filled with rubble and let them attach again on their own. then you can glue what they attached to anywhere you want There are tons of other ways to get them to attach but trust me when I say the rest are PITA and/or dont always work. Once you make the little muchroom bucket nit only takes seconds and a week of waiting to get it done
The best way to remove rics is to either take a big pair of wirecutters and cut rock off with them, or if you have a dremel with a cutting blade you can usually just make a cut underneath them on one side and then with a standard scredriver pop the rock out from underneath them leaving them attached. If the rock is soft enough, you can take a razor or sharp blade and shave the rock out from underneath them and glue it where you want as well

I had some red shrooms whose rock I put at the top under PCs. They (very) slowly moved themselves down to a shadier location, leaving offspring all the way down. I tried that with a blue but he simply dropped.
Wonder if rics would do the same thing? Of course it'd probably take halides and then there'd be the chance of frying them.

The orange floridae has grown another mouth and is folding (?) at the edges. Y'all think he's fixin' to split?

a quick snip with a pair of scissors will speed up the splitting process
