Is there anything special to know about fragging ricordia mushrooms? I have a large green one that I would like to propogate. Any help would be appreciated. Also - will it split and multiply itself like discosoma? It has grown quite a bit since I got it - but it hasn't split.... |

I have green ricordias that have multiplied like crazy since I first got them. When I fragged them, I treated them just like you would any other mushroom. ------------- Kevin Kunz (Sandy, UT) 300g reef "A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud." Ayn Rand |

Update - (if anyone cares) My ricordia (I'm still not sure that's what they are) are splitting regularly now. If anyone wants to trade for one, let me know. They are awesome. I think I got the original from Suzy - but I'm not sure. They are hungry too. Very cool feeding reaction. |

rfoote, My ricordia are green and white. Green base with white "bumps". I'm not sure what else you would call the texture. They are nice looking and aggressive eaters. I have two that I would sale or trade. If anyone is interested PM me or come on up north. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow. |

Shane, I believe they are giant green metallic mushrooms. They were identified as such in Julian Sprungs coral identification book. Our library has a copy or two. You may have got a frag of one from me on a trade awhile back. They get rather large and they really are cool. I simply cut from the parimeter of the mushroom then let it attach to sand then glue the sand to a rock. I used to bridal veil them to rocks. In my experience they will often times disintegrate and come out from the bridal veil. So it's just easier for me to snip and wait. ------------- Keep your hands and arms inside the tank and enjoy the ride! Steve |

I always thought the ricordia are bumpier, that the protrusions were rounder and smooth looking. The ones in the picture look like what I have seen called "fuzzy mushrooms." In fact I bought a rock of these at MSM with about six of them on it. Anyways, they are really cool looking. Rich ------------- 75 Gallon Reef 15 Gallon Reef |

I personally like Ricordia Yumas more that the Floridas. Here is a pic of one of my Yumas.

They've started to self-proprigate. Yuma Ricordia reproduce through what's called petal laceration. That's where part of the foot comes off the main Ricordia and starts to form a new one. I have 3 or 4 itty bitty baby ones that may be ready in a month or two. Pretty kewl, eh? ------------- Sean Spargur West Valley, UT |
