Is your Ricordea Yuma a fake?

[zygote2k]

With the Ricordea craze in full bloom this year, many of us are buying Ricordea floridae species but are being told that they are Ricordea yuma species.

A very simple visual identification will tell you if you have the real McCoy.

Ricordea Yuma has pseudo-tentacles on the oral cone.

Ricordea Floridae has NO pseudo-tentacles on the oral cone.

 

Here are 2 pictures showing the differences. Top pic is a Yuma. Bottom pic is a Floridae.
