Uncommon Ric Color Morphs

[Bongo Shrimp]

So, what are some of the more uncommon ricordea florida (or yuma) color morphs?

Specifically, I've been looking for some pink rics but they don't seem to be as common as the orange or green ones.

Also, I've always wondered: Is there such a thing as a RED ricordea florida?


So, for example, would you ric connoisseurs see this morph as uncommon or rare?

Here we go I can be more open here.....

Coralmorphologic gets some of the best rare colors around.....Check out my thread a bunch of the ones I have posted are from them.....All the rare color morphs but the 4 from Tomasz are from them. Yes those ones you posted can be considered rare in the hobby. Although they are truning up more now they are still not in huge numbers.

I WISH! He wouldn't sell them. No idea if he did or not since he is in the middle of a move. If he did, I'm sure he accepted nothing less than top dollar.

Aren't most of the rarest unseen color morphs coming out of Cuba... and thus in Canada instead of the US due to the US-Cuba import issues

I don't think they ship to the US either because they've had issues with boxes sitting at customs.

The other side of the topic is that Cuba has relatively more protected reefs because there is little ecotourism and coral export because of their political issues. We need those Cuban rics!!!

I have never seen true red or true purple florida ricordia. Nature likes to prove me wrong sometimes, but I'm pretty sure they don't exist.

I can't resist a thread like this so I dug through my Hall of Fame file to find the rarest morphs I ever had. These are a mix of FL ric, Haitian, and yuma. Makes me sad and nostalgic. I was making good money off of ricordia back then, before divers killed the market selling at wholesale prices to the public. ;[
