Title: Ricordea pictures?
Post by: Reef Tank 2.0 on November 29, 2018, 14:21:01

I recently purchased a tri-colored orange ricordea.  I realize it's in the mushroom family, I couldn't pass it up.  (I'm not a fan of mushrooms).
Once I received it and acclimated to my tank, it resides at the bottom of my tank till I find it's permanent home.
After a day of light, this thing looks awesome.  I'd say it's about as big as a quarter.  But the visual aspect of it is kick ass.

Anyone else have Ricordeas growing in their tanks?  Mind posting pictures?  I'd like to see the growth, as well as other colors out there.

Anyone target feed them?

Love my orange and blue ricordia.

The orange one has spit out quite a few babies over time.

If I can find a few more different colors I would definitely get them.

That's awesome, I will post a picture of mine when I get home.
Do they grow like weeds and will eventually take over? Like the regular mushrooms

Not to my knowledge, but I’m not for sure.

They don’t grow crazy fast like some other mushrooms do.  I love the way colony’s of them look

My Ricordea collection grew a bit today so I took some pictures.
