Thanks for the offer willy but I'm looking to add color.

I think Ricordea is a fantastic addition to any tank, and they are available in some incredible colors. They also work very well in nano tanks, as they are very forgiving in comparison to other corals in regards to salinity and water quality fluctuations.

 

Here is one in my personal tank:

Wow, that things gorgeous! How big is it Palmetto?

[crollison]

Yeah that is awesome!!! I have a green tipped and red body collony at the moment. How much was that?

[Palmetto]

This one is over 2" in diameter. The Orange/ Pink ones are on sale right now for $20.00 somewhere between dime and quarter sized. They are normally $25. The intent of this post was not commercial, but since you asked I hope it was OK to reply with that information.

 

The large one in the picture is not for sale. One like that can go from $50 to $75. (I have seen online companies getting up to $130!)

I have seen Blue star polyps at one LFS that look pretty cool. You can also get Blue striped mushrooms and yellow polyps.

i have the some ricordia that are purple body with bright green tips with blue mouth! and orange tip with green mouth...they are very nice.

 

Crollison, you are not far from me..come by my house..i might have a few frag you would like.. I have the white colt frag, and BRIGHT Yellow with Green center Zoos..that should add some yellow to your tank, i am asking $20/frag..btu the zoo colony have at least 30+ polyps on it, unlike most people who only sells a dozen or so polyps for the same price. and the LR its on is about 3"..

 

BTW- I just got a Bright Red Carpet Anemone on friday! this thing is GORGEOUS!!!! it really shines under my halides..iw ill try to take a picture..i got it for free from a drawing! Anyhow onw knows the value on a RED carpet..i hvae seen a lot of greens and blues..but never seen red. it is about 6" fully opened and super healthy.

There are many types of mushrooms that have frilly bumps, but Ricordea have these large, rounded tentacles like in the picture. The colors you describe sound like Ricordea. Do you have any pics?

 

Anthony, you care to swap some Rics sometime?

 

Those sound interesting...

 

I am building a brood stock of all of the bright and rare color combinations that I can accumulate.

 

I don't think I have ever seen an ugly Ricordea.

Anthony, I heard a lot of people talking about the red carpet. All of them said it was a very rare color;)

[anthony812]

Pal- i am always interested in swaping corals for the ones that i don't already have..too bad you are so far away..i mostly swop locally.

 

Crollison-I know, i have been one of them that is in search of a Red carpet, until i finally found one and was lucky ..so lucky to won it from a raffle, with only $5 of tickets that i bought..hahaha..so far..i have heard they are ranged any where from $35 - $100...but just wanted more opinions on them..
