Miniwhinny Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Here's a daylight shot. They haven't opened yet too much. There are 3 polyps that I can see. All three are similar. I can"t reproduce the irridescent green and pink. I'd love to know what they are just so I can place them in the right spot. Right now I have them in the very middle of my tank right under a 150MH. Thanks anyone for input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniwhinny Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Seems from my other posts that it's pretty unanimous that they are yumas so you guys were right. Thanks ';-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgreenthumb Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would put them at or near the bottom of the tank, most yumas are pretty low light, that might be why they are not opening up fully yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgreenthumb Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 yea all of mine definitely like it best at the bottom of my tank. It seems like the brighter the colors, the less light they like. I even have some under a ledge totally in the shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 All my Yumas/ricordeas get low light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniwhinny Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks guys I have them at the very bottom. I've heard that once you get them over the acclimation period they are pretty hardy critters - fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
