Ricordeidae

Soft Coral

Ricordea Florida mushrooms, are not in fact corals, they are Corallimorphs and are closely related to sea anemones. They come in every color and have beautiful patterns of spots on them.
These mushrooms like moderate light, but, we recommend keeping them in low flow due to the fact that higher flow rates can irritate them, and, cause them to detach from the rock they're on and float around the tank. Once this happens the mushroom may "melt" or die because they are not so great at reattaching themselves once they have detached.
Ricordea mushrooms are mainly photosynthetic, relying on the products of their zooxanthellae, but, you can feed them phytoplankton and zooplankton as well as other products like Coral Feast and Reef Energy if you desire.

Of course, you should always maintain proper water parameters by maintaining good calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels.
