How to care yumas !!!!

Don't know for some reason they never last long with me even under low light low flow ....any particular tricks to keep em alive !!!!

Not really Lucky. They have to be one of the hardest to keep softies.
If possible try to find aquacultured ones. They have a better survivability rate than wild. I gave up on trying to keep them after googling and finding several articles talking about the mortality rate. It was something like 90%.

The two I have moved only slightly at first ( an inch or so ) and are doing great with no direct feeding. Neither have high flow but ones 2/3rds the way up and the other is on the bottom. The one in the bottom is bigger. I'm growing SPS on the sand bed if that tells you how potent my LEDs are.
