stevil December 12, 2006 Share December 12, 2006 The ricordia fairy must have visited... I noticed two new small ones exactly like that in my tank the other day too... don't have any others like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Magnolia December 12, 2006 Share December 12, 2006 The ricordia fairy must have visited... I noticed two new small ones exactly like that in my tank the other day too... don't have any others like it. That's funny! I discovered that where I once had a single ric, I now have two adults sized rics and about four dime sized ones. Prolific little buggers! BTW, those may also be a rhodactus sp. you have there Jason.

Gatortailale December 20, 2006 Share December 20, 2006 1) What is the story behind them - did you buy them or trade for them or did they just appear on the rock. 2) 2nd photo looks like shroom or ricordia 3) What is size of the 2 in first photo? if they look like they have a foot or base like a BTA then probably majano anemone - which is like aptasia - pest. Majano stay about quarter size and multiply fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majano stay about quarter size and multiply fast They actually appeared completely randomly in my tank after some re aquascaping. I had had the lights off my tank for about 4 weeks, so the tank is up against the window any way so I ran al la natural for a bit. Now the window is shaded over. I also have some brown zoas that have appeared randomly but don't seem to multiply much and are freaking tiny, like smaller than a pencil eraser. I'd be so sad if those were nusiscance anems, They don't appear to have a base at all except for the second one with the hermit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jager January 11, 2007 Share January 11, 2007 called a razer blade, cut the ric in half let both side regrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROLL January 11, 2007 Share January 11, 2007 Other way is to rubberband over the middle section- they'll split up easily. One method from GARF, cut them up into "pizza" pieces and wrap with bridal veiling on rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak January 17, 2007 Author Share January 17, 2007 Well i broke a piece of branch that one was on the other night and the thing snapped it half. It's been a week and both pieces seem to be doing ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROLL January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 Ahh ok, that's cool. I just got a neon orange/teal ricordia with double neon green mouths from Dr. Mac. I'm looking forward to fragging it when time comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman February 7, 2007 Share February 7, 2007 Well i broke a piece of branch that one was on the other night and the thing snapped it half. It's been a week and both pieces seem to be doing ok. I guess you could say I did my first mushroom frag, then I bought one that was stuck to two different pieces of rock. Both halves of that guy are doing fine, also! Had another one that split himself; both halves are still healing up. I have a ricordia (fiji?) - kind of like a hairy mushroom (3-4"); but fluoresces bright green - he has 3-4 smaller ones hiding in his shadow on the same rock. If you want to take a razor blade to a ricordia - cut him through the mouth? Or next to it? bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak February 7, 2007 Author Share February 7, 2007 Now in theory you should do it though the mouth... how ever I fragged one recently with no trace of the oral disc on the new frag, and it had been alive for 1 month just fine... I since traded it to member bb name big james, we'll see how it turns out. Still I think I have to reccomend fragging though the oral disc, I'll give the floor over to exp members though. Oh and the other half with the mouth, is fully healed and growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
