Source for Ricordeas

[tarpons]

Does anyone know of a good on-line source for the more colorful ricordeas? Most of the ones I see at the on-line stores seem to have fairly bland coloring. I found a web-site for a distributor in Germany that had some of the most incredibly colored ricordea I've seen. But that was Europe & they only sell to retailers. Any Ideas?

Yumas or Floridas?

This is a company that was posted here as a source a long time ago. I dont know a darned thing about them. http://www.strictlyfrags.com/ricordia_coral.htm

Evidently Foster & Smith bought them out because when you click on the links it just takes you to the livequaria.com website. I have had good success ordering from liveaquaria.com, however I wasn't as impressed with their other site, eTropicals. A doctor, whose tank I work on, ordered from eTropicals once and several of the fish were dead and the ones that were living were very small and unhealthy looking. The few times I've ordered from Liveaquaria.com everything arrived very healthy and seemed to be packaged better. I'm not really sure why they would be different being that they are both owned by Fosters and Smith.

I did recently order some Ricordea from here and they were really nice:

The red mushrooms and warty corallimorphs are really cool too.

I'm interested in both Yumas & Floridas.

The ones I have thus far also came from Foster's & Smith. I live about 90 min from their coral facility, so I am able to pick mine up rather than having them shipped when I order from Diver's Den.

There is a site called ricordea farm that has some of the most incredible colors I've ever seen, but they are in Europe.
