Information on Deepwater Yuma/ricordia

[fishboi]

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has deepwater yuma. I just want to know how you can tell deepwater from regular yuma. I couldn’t find any info on it. I just heard they’re super rare. Thanks

Unsure that’s a thing.

Sounds like they just want to jack up the price by saying deepwater and super rare.

Yeah, seems weird to me too. Ricordea are one of the few species of corallimorphs that are found in relatively shallow waters.

I saw something similar to this and the guy said it’s deepwater and much more rare

Hey, I have some green mushrooms pulsing deep water Xenia. Very rare.

That’s a really cool ric, but saying it’s deep water means nothing unless there’s a story behind?

Golden state corals had some deep water rics a while back, I’d give them a call and ask them about it.

Thank you. Just want to find out if anyone has one before I invest

Tell them to send you a pic in white light. For me, I like my shallow normal yumas, especially from Solomon Islands...those were the primo stuff back in the days.

Solomon Islands is back.

If you see a bright pink Solomon Islands yuma, I will pay top $$$ for it. That is my all time favorite coral, and it was like 4" wide for me, and then it melted...I was broken.

As of right now. Vibrant and Route 66 have brought them in Solomon’s.

Those are wholesalers right? Where could we get these pink yumas?

Correct wholesales. I’d say ask your store to order them

 

[fishboi]

A guy wants $100 for like a blue color one. Is it worth it?

 

[Jimbo327]

If you have seen the old school Solomons, it was bright pink in day light. Like barbie pink.

Most of the yumas today are bright orange...than pink.
