    I've ordered a couple times from RAH and everytime has always been a success. If I had more room I would still be buying from him. lol.

    Ebay can be as risky as any other place. I mainly stick to the WYSIWYG sellers that mainly deal in corals. I did get hosed once with the 'you will get a frag from the colony' and got pieces so small they were like pencil erasers. Feedback was suprisinly good on that seller too. I dunno.

    Happy Birthday!

    It's always nice to see pictures of things once they make it into peoples tanks.

    Just for clarification those are a type of Rhodactis mushroom, typically what you would call a "hairy mushroom". It looks like the photo at the beginning of the thread was probably taken soon after they were introduced to the tank so they are not opened up all the way yet. Here is a photo when they are more open.

    Green hairy's get big too! The one I got (which I think is from RAH actually) has split 3 times now & each one is 4" or so across. Ill have to get a picture taken.

    Congrats on the wins, and happy birthday.

    If you do get ricordeas, place them low in the tank and vertically. Place yumas in a partially shaded area. You may need to start with them in full shade.

    Very good advice. Yuma's in particular are VERY intolerant of bright light and need to be light acclimated very slowly.
