YEAH RIGHT!!! People have been mislabling these things for soooo long, you never know unless you have some good coral ID books.

I forgot to respond to this post

I always got a kick out of my indo suppliers telling me they had ricodea florida's, before the yumas were popular

They also had neon gobies (engineer gobies really).

No kidding. I remember once when I saw neon gobies on a list and I was happy to order them since they weren't available from my other source for a while. I got a dozen freaking engineer gobies. I really hate that crap.

At least you didn't get a deadly stone fish instead of a scorpion

We had to stop them from shipping em at one point, we had 6 in stock, which is 6 to many

Check out the recommended site now. All above the board right? Let me get in line to pony up $45 for one polyp. Giddy up.

I get a "forbidden" page. Is that what you're getting?

JustPhish · 12-18-2006, 08:44 AM

Yep. Though there's nothing confirmed right now there's talk they might have gotten in trouble....again. But who cares?! They're having a SALE! No minimums!

amcarrig · 12-18-2006, 12:41 PM

I don't know what they're selling but I NEED ONE....or two?

I know her site doesnt look professional, Ive talked to her about that before. I know the people who work with her, I know the quality of what she sells.

Well, just heard on a re-broadcast on the net of a radio show down in the Keys about the latest bust for illegal harvesting of liverock as well as ricordeas. The host interviewed a fish and wildlife rep and a certain person, was named outright on the air and caught red handed on the reef...with a hammer and chisel...removing ricordeas.

LOL
