Thanks guys.

 

I don't know it could be, i bought all of them in one purchase, it wasn't breed in my tank.

 

Well for nano, Yumas and Zoas all we have that varies in colors... other then that that its hard to find a coral with striking colors. Most of the great looking corals is imported from Australia and the prices are the same as in the states, maybe even pricier.

Nice update! I like how you have that cave for your NPS. Your zoa garden is looking good. What is that purple thing on the top lefthand side of your tank? 'Some kind of macro?

 

BTW, I'll send you my firstborn for that Yuma! :lol: Awesome pic.

A red grape macroalgae, I wanted to fill that place with something red, the macroalgae was the cheapest solution, plus they say it'll also help with nitrates.

 

Yeah yuma rocks ! Other then zoa it looks like I'm going to start collecting some more yumas....

Yeah, the macro will help with nitrates. Just make sure to keep it in check. Plants grow a lot faster than corals.

Oh, if I could collect Yumas, I'd be all over it. If you had a yuma dominated tank, it would be the talk of the forum. They are really expensive here. About double the price of a normal Ricordea. Especially for the really nice ones like you multicolored one. If you can afford to ship them internationally, you could make quite a profit. That one I like, for example (that I think you said you paid $2 for) could go for $50 USD easily. At least I'd pay that much for it.

What you just said, really motivates me to look for more Yumas... It's not actually that easy to find a multicolored one here also, I just got lucky on these ones.

The cost of shipping and permits to get past customs, I'm sure is really expensive, that's why it cost higher there.

Even a slow hunt would add up to an awesome tank over time.

 

But, yeah. I imagine shipping and all would be killer. 'Probably only be worth it if you could ship in mass bulk to a dealer here.

Here's some pictures I took today, It's pretty much the same stuff but I like how the Yuma looks on these pictures better then the one i took yesterday..

Awesome tank. I love the GSP and mushrooms. Have you seen good growth rates form them? What about your zoa's?

 

If you wouldn't mind tanking a look at my tank and giving me some feedback that would be great. I could really use some comments!!

Added a shrimp to the tank, need ID please...

If i added a Goby Shrimp can it be paired ?

 

 

is it an unknown shrimp under heavy actinic lighting? I need to see the claws and a good side view

Link to comment

It's hiding under a rock right now, can't take new pictures of it...

The claws are pretty much the same size, so I'm guessing not a pistol shrimp.

Some people has suggested that it could grow its clicker claws, but if not then it might be a regular lobster.
