RicordeasUK - Specialists in Ricordea Corals

Our Ricordea (info)

All our ricordeas are collected for us in an ethical manner in the waters off florida, when they arrive here they are rested for 1 month before being offered for sale, we feel this is important, it enables them rest after shipping and gently adapt to aquarium life ensuring ultimately they reach you in a1 condition, the equipment used in the holding tanks is the best available, we use ATI skimmers and Lighting, Aquatronica computer systems aswell as using the lastest in Nutrient reduction additives/techniques to keep the colours fresh and vibrant.

All the ricordeas are attached to a small amount of rubble, ranging from a few mm to a few cm, this is enough to glue them onto a piece of liverock, the authorities in florida do not allow for large pieces of rock to be harvested.
We never sell unhealthy corals, any coral that arrives with us in unsatisfactory condition is placed in a seperate aquarium and allowed to recover over a long period of time before being offered for sale.

The ricordeas are on average around 4cm, thats about standard size for a ricordea if not slightly larger, where the ricordeas are signifantly larger or smaller than this it will be mentioned in the description.

The photos on this site are taken in automatic mode with the white balance adjusted so that the corals look in the pictures as they appear to the eye, we do not use under 20K or heavy blue lighting to produce extreme but unrealistic colours. It is worth noting however that corals do appear different shades under different lighting, a ricordea that looks mid orange in one tank can appear more red or pink in another, for more information please see the lighting section in the ricordea care pages.

Ricordeas (sometimes mis-spelt ricordia) are a stunning addition to all marine reef aquariums, thought of as a mushroom coral they are actually related to anemones.
