Questions about Ricordia

[ianmont]

Hello, does anyone have any experience with Ricordia? I've had a small green and blue one that just showed up one day, but recently it's lost its color and now seems to be green tipped while the body is a milky white or clear color. Any ideas? It's also shrunk in size as well.

Thanks, Ian. :eek:

How much light do you have it under, have you tried moving it? Is it getting stung by another coral? What about water movement? Feeding?

The Ricordia is under 2- 175 watt halides but it is partly in the shade. It's not close to any other coral so it's not being stung, and no I've never tried moving it as it looks fairly well attached to the rock its living on. Water movement is not too strong and I've only just learned that I can target feed it but I do feed all my corals every other night with phytoplankton, so I assume it has been feeding.
