    So all over my tank as we all know I know I have various rics and yumas I can see them growing bigger everyday. Its not just my mind. :)

    So I have various sizes penny to a couple inches and everything in between. I know to use a rubber band to hold them down till they attach and I know they will move if they want. But how can I get them from where they are? I have one rock with multiple on it. How do I get them off. Do I need to wait till there big?

    Also how can u tell the difference?when there small?

    They're both ricordea...the yuma's tend to have bubbles up on their mouths, the florida don't.

    You should be able to scrape with a knife, or cut them off, they're just like mushrooms. They'll eventually heal, and any tissue left behind will grow into new little ones.
