    OK. Here it is. I was sold this LPS at the LFS by someone who seemed a little unsure of himself. It resided in the low light tank.....so I figured I was safe. He said it was a ricordea. It is five to six inches in diameter. Please confirm yay or nay. TIA as always.......John.

    does it have any tentacles or sweepers @ night time?

    will it eat if you put food on it, looks like it has a mouth
