I send them at the end of the day so that the package has shortest time in transit. If you need your shipment delayed, please message me through eBay before or during your purchase and I will gladly hold on to the coral for your convenience. I DO INCLUDE HEAT or COLD PACKS AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE !!!! Tracking numbers are always included, so please pay attention to package arrival times because these are live corals and will die if left out in the extreme heat or cold. I will watch weather conditions closely, and may delay shipping if extreme weather is forecasted in the delivery route. All live arrival guarantees must be filed within two hours of the delivery time and date shown on tracking. Please be present and available to take delivery of your live coral. You will receive a USPS tracking number once your order has shipped. My corals are grown under Kessil, AI Hydra/Prime HD, and Power compacts. The coral will need time (usually 2-3 days) to expand as it becomes acclimated. Because most corals do contract drastically while in the dark or stressed during shipping, do not be alarmed when you receive the coral and they are tiny or withdrawn. These are AQUACULTURED NOT WILD COLLECTED. You will receive a about a 1.” frag of this CorAL when fully open.

They should be place on rocks that do not connect to rocks hosting other coral specimens or at least 4 to 6 inches from existing corals so that they do not sting one another.Ĭaptive propagation of Ricordea florida is easily achieved by carefully cutting the individual animal in half straight through the oral disc, column and pedal disc. They can be kept with a wide variety of tank mates including many fish species that are normally too aggressive to be kept with other coral species. If the specimen grows paler and shrinks, the lighting may be too intense or if an originally brightly colored specimen retains its size but loses some of its intensity, the lighting should probably be stronger. With less intense reef lighting, a horizontal placement in the middle portion of the aquarium will likely suit them best.Īfter placement, the aquarist should carefully observe the Ricordea specimen to determine its overall happiness with its current location. Under metal halides, it is recommended to consider a lower, somewhat shaded or vertical placement in the aquarium.
florida tolerate bright reef lighting much better than most other mushroom corals, but they also do fine in less well-lit situations such as shaded areas of the aquarium, extra tall aquariums or in tanks without metal halides. However, it is important to properly acclimate them to the aquariums water conditions via drip acclimation, which will let them slowly adjust to the aquariums water temperature, salinity, etc. Fortunately for marine aquarists, Ricordea florida mushrooms are fairly tolerant of a wide range of both lighting and water flow conditions. As with most other marine animals, Ricordea florida do best when placed in an aquarium that provides them habitat that resembles their natural surroundings in the wild.
