    cool pic...I have had a couple ricordea but they would never attach to the LR so they ended up floating away and getting lost in the tank. I tried reef glue, veil netting everything and they always fall off. But very nice color

    next time you cant get them to attach, rubber band them to a rock. it will attach, and it will also make 2 separate rics.

    I find that ricordea florida like to be on rock or at least part of the ric on rock. They seem to expand larger. Also the Pink Yuma I attached by just placing him on the rock in the corner of tank with low current. He attached quickly. The Yumas are slow growers anyway.

    Sorry, just saw the reply. Yes, the rubber band torture method works, can't be much worse than a scalpel. When you cut them it takes a while to get them to attach to substrate and sometimes float away. I haven't tried it an yuma's but it works on Caribbean rics.
