Ricordea Yuma

Easy

Peaceful

Indo-Pacific (typically collected off the coast of numerous different Indo-Pacific islands)

Ricordeidae

Soft Coral

Ricordea Yuma mushrooms, are not in fact corals, they are Corallimorphs and are closely related to sea anemones. They are very similar to Ricordea Florida, but, usually get much larger and have brighter, more vibrant colors.
Other ways to distinguish R. Yuma from R. Florida is their appearance of tentacles. R. Yuma usually has a cluster of tentacles surrounding its mouth and have more uniform rows of tentacles spreading outward to its skirt from its mouth.
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, Reef Energy.

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