Florida Keys Orange Ricordea

$69.99

You are buying the Florida Keys Orange Ricordea in the photograph, not a stand-in image for the batch. Anemones need a mature, stable tank. Give it moderate to strong light, moderate flow and a crevice to anchor its foot in, and let it choose its own spot. Keys-collected and held in our Key West system.…

The $10 Box & Handling Fee is charged per box, not per coral. It covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely. UPS Next Day Air is one flat livestock shipping charge per order, the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another box fee or change the shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Florida: $30 UPS Next Day Air livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship UPS Next Day Air for a flat $30, plus the $10 Box & Handling Fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard UPS Next Day Air rate. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Livestock ships UPS Next Day Air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so nothing sits in a facility over a weekend. We ship livestock within the continental U.S. only. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.

Description

This is a WYSIWYG Orange Ricordia collected by me in Key West FL baby! We are a full service saltwater aquarium shop in Key West with a strong focus on aqua-culture (FL Certificate #AQ0254072) we also collect local coral, fish and inverts. If you would like anything from the Florida Keys, Mushrooms, Rock Flowers, Gorgonians, Fish, Inverts, Macro Algae, Sponge etc… Contact us directly and we are happy to collect for you!

This coral is suitable for marine aquariums with an beginner difficulty level. The photos are taken with no filter using a Sony A 7 IV with a Sigma Macro Lens. The video file is shot under blue spectrum.

Corals can detach from the plug during shipping, this is normal as they get bounced around during shipping.

Corals should be acclimated to temp and then placed in quarantine. We do our absolute best to avoid any pests, we still suggest you dip all corals after they have been placed in a quarantine tank for a few days.

Our LPS tank runs at around 50-100 par, we suggest you place the coral in slightly lower lighting and then move up over the course of a week. This works for us and it will also work for you.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at anytime.

We appreciate your business, if you are ever in Key West, please stop by our showroom 🙂

Care Guide
This anemone thrives under moderate to high lighting and moderate flow, and hosts well with clownfish once acclimated. Anemones are mobile and can move around the tank until they find a spot they like, so provide ample rockwork for them to settle into.

Placement: Sandbed near rockwork — needs a rock to anchor its foot into the sand.
