Multicolour Ricordea Yuma Mushroom 5

Multicolour Ricordea Yuma Mushroom

This Ricordea Yuma carries dense, golden-orange nodular tentacles over a teal-green base, with a bright, glowing green centre marking the mouth. The texture here is particularly heavy and jewel-like, which is exactly what collectors look for in a well-developed Yuma piece.

This is a WYSIWYG listing: you receive the exact single polyp pictured, approx 3+cm open, 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 to moderate. Gentle flow is best — 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, approx 3+cm open.
