Multicolour Ricordea Yuma Mushroom 9

Multicolour Ricordea Yuma Mushroom

This Ricordea Yuma carries dense, golden-orange nodular tentacles radiating outward from a bright, glowing green centre marking the mouth. The sharp contrast between the warm outer body and the cool, luminous centre is exactly the kind of detail 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, indirect. Avoid direct laminar flow, which can dislodge the polyp from the rockwork.
• 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.
