Multicolour Ricordea Yuma Mushroom 7

Multicolour Ricordea Yuma Mushroom

This Ricordea Yuma shows off the “multicolour” name about as clearly as it gets — a bright yellow centre gives way to a ring of orange, finishing in teal-green outer tentacles, with each colour zone standing out sharply from the next rather than blending together. It’s the kind of radial pattern that photographs beautifully and holds its own as a focal point even among busier corals.

This is a WYSIWYG listing: you receive the exact single polyp pictured, attached to a small rock, not a representative example.

Care basics

• Lighting: Low to moderate. Ricordea can bleach out or lose vibrancy under overly intense light, so lower placement usually works best.
• Flow: Low. Gentle flow only — heavy flow can cause the polyp to close up or detach.
• Water chemistry: Stable calcium, alkalinity and magnesium matter more than chasing exact numbers.
• Feeding: Not required, but target feeding small meaty foods can noticeably boost size and colour over time.
• Placement: Peaceful and doesn’t need much space from neighbours, though it can slowly creep across rockwork over time.

Supplied as 1 polyp attached to a small rock.
