    Is anyone wanting to buy some ricordea? Jennifer and I are talking about buying a 50 or 100 pack. I don't need that many for a garden but I can sell the rest for $10 each if there is any interest. I'm thinking with a purchase that big we should get some cool colors. Let me know if you would be interested. Do yourself a favor and google "Ricordea Garden".

    Well they arrived today and I am not as pleased as I thought I would be but I don't believe it is completely the seller's fault. I bought 100. The box arrived visibly wet on top like it was transported upside down, I opened it when I got home and when I unpacked it I discovered that the top 1/3 to 1/2 of the box was full containers of milky looking stinky water with empty frag plugs and smashed /beat-up ricordea. Of the 100 that I bought, only 67 were attached to a plug, disc, or rock. The rest were detached and mixed in with the milky stinky water. There were less than 10 that looked really good, the rest had anything from minor bleaching to almost totally white. I contacted the seller and he said that he has some loose ones and once they attach to some rubble he will send them to me to make up for the lost ones.

    Are you still wanting to get rid of three or four of them

    I am but my original plan was to sell them for $10 each after I made my garden. I can't really afford to let them go for cheaper than that but I also don't want to get a reputation of selling unhealthy or stressed coral. If you are willing to accept the risk with bleached coral than sure. The good news is I killed the flow last night and they look better today but they're still stressed.

    Sure. Give me a little bit, I have to let my wife pick out her favorites first. Lol. If Momma isn't happy, nobody is happy. I'm assuming you want ones that are attached right?

    I completely understand happy wife happy life I would just have to see them if the ones that are not attached look better than I'm not opposed to trying to work with them
