My Prized Yuma... RIP! :/

How long did you have it?

It died? Thas sux. Very nice looking though.

Thanks guys! Unfortunatly it bleached out and died within a month of having it. It was the nicest yuma I've come across, and after watching it lose colors and shrivel away I'm very hesitant to ever buy another.

unfourtunately that is common.

my orange/pink one lasted 4 months. i know the feeling!

I went through dozens of ultra yumas and almost gave up on the idea that they could live until a friend of mine told me about his. He grew out a single ultra red/orange yuma from one polyp to over 100 in a couple years. He grew his out under 150watt SE HQI's(same as me) They are the only ones I have seen last and reproduce. I have a huge one in my tank, about 4inches in diameter when fully expanded and its has already dropped off a couple babies in the last couple months. There are pictures of it on Neptune Aquatics website cuz he traded some in to them. Check it out, those ones live and reproduce.

Sounds cool. After owning this in its prime, no other yuma can replace it in my tank! FML.

if I had that and it died, i'd be done with yumas too. sorry for your loss.

Same story here so sorry for your loss...paid a lot to watch my money melt in from of my eyes while everything else around it thrived in excellent health. You know the saying "fool me once...."

Don't give up on them. Next time ask the store if you can pay for it and have them hold it for you. This way you can tell its health. I have done this twice and have 2 beautiful specimens that survived and are thriving.

Same thing happened to me with an ultra yuma. Sux bro

I have only "standard" green and orange Yuma's that are nicknamed T-800's but I would hate to have this happen - does anyone know the exact cause of ultra ric's usual demise?

OMG THATS AWESOME!!!!!! thats what happens when ghandi and mother theresa have a baby

Wow, I'm surprised at how many replies I got! =O

My ultimate goal is to find a healthy, thriving yuma even nicer than the one pictured. Until I do, I'll have to grasp the memories of this one! lol

Every time i hear about these lovely yumas die, it holds me back from buying the hot pink one i am always after....

I miss this yuma so much!

o.o

omg .... such a nice yuma.

always best to get one from an established tank though, the colors on this one is crazy!

WOW that is the nicest yuma I have ever seen.

God I hate yumas.

Such a beauty! I am now very hesitant to get the one I have been pining for.

So sorry its gone.

wow, beautiful yuma. sorry for your loss

Thanks guys. It's okay... I will try again someday.
