One of the sweetest yumas...

flricordia · Feb 6, 2009

One of the sweetest yumas I have seen. Picked it up today. Who makes these things? They should get a top rating.
Note it has 2 mouths. How rare is that?

very nice i wish mine would color up lol

Nice! Having two mouths means that it will most likely split in the near future.
I really like Yumas, they use to be in very high demand then like most other coral that demand fades. They will come back around, soon I hope!

yeah, that dude's splitting

i've got 4 that same color, that i bought for 10. one was the size of a grain of sugar sand, stuck to a larger piece of sand, and the other 3 were on a 1" rock (knew there was one (about 1/8" at the time), but the other two were hiding in a crevice.

they're my fav shrooms!

I love yumas, that one is really nice. I dont see nice ones like that for sale very often

Well, yumas don't split really. ricordea florida do and even some what we refer to as mushrooms do, but not yumas. They move alng and drop babies, basically leave a small piece of themselves behind that grows into another yuma. A double mouth yuma is a rarity, but it will not split, unless I were to cut it myself, but that will not happen to this one.
Here are a couple more I got with the first.
These are not color enhanced. Taken under actinic T5 and 14k MH.

Can I get on a baby list? I never have seen cool yumas like that in my area.

Yuma's Look Great Under Your Lighting. I Just Love Those.........

Now I know I have to move to Florida, just so that I can get the good corals. Nothing much out here in the desert--we have one SWF store! Where did you pick those beauties up?

Hypertek99 · Feb 10, 2009

Well, it wasn't local. These are Pacific and come through CA so moving to FL might not be such a good idea. Economy here is one of the worst right now on top of having to cover the plants because of hard freezes and then going bare-foot later that same day. Lots of sick pple down here right now because of the drastic changes in the temps and all the mold popping up every where. I am whining because I am one of those that has been sick off and on for the past month+.
Think I would rather be in the desert hunting kingsnakes, ratters, scorpions and the like.

Oh WOW !!! Just a minute while I pick my jaw up off the floor !!! Those are just stunning. You are so lucky to have them.

I'm new here and fairly new to 'shrooms. Can I ask you what conditions/lighting you are keeping these beauties in?

Thanks. I am keeping them very low. I only have MH in my tanks and they came from a VHO tank. ph at 8.4+ day and 8.2 night, SG at 35ppt. Temp at 80 average. Calcium stays at 450, alk 3.5 average.
