emarti20 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Picked up my Fiji LR yesterday from Jeff's Exotic. One of the rocks has about 7 or 8 of these things. The first pic is by far the largest, about the size of dime. Those in the second pic aren't as open and are about of a very small pea. The center is raised up and white. The body has a slight iridescent green color and the edges have a orange tinge. Link to comment

dickie52 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 shroom..... my guess....cause of the curl.... Link to comment
Acoustic Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 They are bleached ricordias. Once they color up they look like they will be a nice yellow with orange rims. Link to comment
emarti20 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 I was leaning more towards Ric's as well becuase of the bubble like texture. I hope some of them survive the cycle. They are pretty low in the tank and I'm going to do a 4-hour photo-period during the cycle. Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 that is a score, nice rock. Link to comment
MarLooney Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 OMG a piece of LR with 8 Pink Yumas!!!!! that'd be a story. they're probably a more common ric but they're rics for sure. keep us updated as they start to show their true colors. Link to comment
emarti20 Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 Thanks again for all the responses. So far they appear to be doing well. Haven't seen much change in the color so far on any of them but the large one has probaby increased a bout 30% in size in the last week. He really stretches out while the lights are on. Anyone have any idea on how long it will take until the color starts returning to "normal"? Link to comment
BlackSumbel Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Definately look like Yumas. Can't say exactly how long it'll take , but don't try to feed them untill they gain their color back, and sort of go easy on them. I had another couple of large ones that were "rescues" from the LFS, they were -very- bleached and the stress of bringing them home pretty much nuked them. Link to comment
kennerd Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Yumas: I had one that was bleached out like that. Took a few months to color up & ended up being a dark red with green rim. Pistol shrimp grabbed it to brace up his den & was never seen again. Link to comment
MarLooney Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 do you have a shot that shows most of the 7 or 8? Link to comment
emarti20 Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 Don't have one currently. There's about 5 that survived the cycle. The largest one is starting to get some color on it now. I'll try and take a picture later today once the lights have been on for a while of the whole rock (Need to move back to it's correct position, I think my hermit crabs moved it during their last round of Ultimate Fighting Championship.)
