Yuma ricordea care

[milou]

I don't want to just keep it I want to grow them. I had 1 orange florida ricordea for 1 yr and it's still 1 head not growing at all. My leather frag is also not growing. The only thing growing in my tank is zoas. My 1 head rasta (down from 3) just grew 2 new heads in like 1 month. I don't know if this is good growth rate or not.

I had a orange florida ricordea that I got a new mouth every 2 weeks and my rastas and sunny D zoos get 3-4 new heads per week.

how funny now that you mention about Sunny D, mine never grows. It's still a 2 head polyps for more than 8 months I think. I think I need to break the frag and glue them on a plug. The 2 heads are sitting on the edge of a small rock and sometimes the fish knock them over etc. I saw your tank build journal. You got some serious setup there.

Could be the Sunny D's you have are 'duds'

Come by sometime Mike and take some of mine home. They are growing like weeds

have you tried feeding them? I bought 2 different space monster frags , 1 I feed a couple times a week with the fauna marin food. The ones I feed are much bigger and grow faster . The one I dont feed is about half the size and grows about half the speed. Placement could have a lot to do with it . Try moving them around some will do better than others in certain spots. And yes if they keep getting knocked over and you find them flipped over that could slow things down.

thanks for all the feedback with the zoos and how about yuma ricordea, anyone?
