    Hi Guys,

    I just my first Florida ricordia this weekend and had a few questions. The first is about the color. I think that it is supposed to be blue, but doesn't have much color. I was wondering if this is due to transit or placement. I have it placed about an inch or two off of the bottom right now. It is getting low to moderate flow where it is as well. I haven't glued it down yet (but my snails and crabs knocked the frags I have over), so I can move it if needed. I love the ricordia's and since this was my first, I figured I would ask. Thanks in advance!!!

    Regards,
    Ivy

    not all rics are blue
    looks like yours has some orange around the mouths
    low-med flow should be fine.

    nice addition!

    Under good lighting and water conditions it should become more intense in colour. What ever that colour might be

    Thanks guys for the help. It does have a little green around the mouths and even has shades of orange under the actinics and moon lights. I could have sworn it was blue in the wysiwyg pictures. I just wanted to make sure I was doing all I could to help it along. Thanks again!!!
