Didn't catch the name of this when I got it so.. anyone?

Little fuzzy, but looks like a Ricordea to me

 

[clancaster23]

I thought so but will it open up? It was like this even when in the store's tank. I actually got a ricordea that has two heads on it and it's opened up all nice and big. This thing hasn't opened at all. Been like this the whole time.

And sorry for the blurry pic. Camera sucks plus it's still in the bag acclimating.

 

[Mr.Diggler]

You bought it and have no clue what it is?

 

[clancaster23]

I know it's some sort of mushroom. Just not what kind specifically.

 

[Waddi]

Ricordea is a kind of mushroom.
They have many different nicknames also, like ' Hulk Ric' if its green or something.

 

[Cathic]

It may just be fuzzy? Id need a better pic to determine

 

[Ulta]

Looks like an Acan head to me.

Does it have a hard skeleton/base?

 

[clancaster23]

I'll try to get a clearer pic in the morning. I don't think it's an acan and if it is, I got a deal. Paid $20 for it.

Looks kinda like a lobo to me.

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

Looks more like a Lobophyllia to me, due to what looks like skeleton pushing through, which is commonn when they're pisses/disturbed. And if it is a lobo that's how it'll look, no opening or closing. However it will puff up.

 

[clancaster23]

Ok, got a much better picture.

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

Yup. Lobo.

 

[clancaster23]

Ok. I been reading you should set them on their side and in a low-flow area. Correct? How big can it get? I haven't found any definite information on these just yet.
