Ricordea Yuma: Vibrant “Granite” Mushroom Coral

Add a splash of stunning colour and unique texture to your reef aquarium with the captivating Ricordea Yuma ‘Granite’. This captivating corallimorph is a true showstopper.

Overview

The Ricordea Yuma, often called the “Granite” Yuma due to its unique colour patterns, is a stunning corallimorph originating from the Indo-Pacific region. Characterised by its fleshy, dome-shaped body and short, tentacle-like vesicles, this species creates a mesmerizing texture in the aquarium. Its vibrant coloration, often featuring a striking blend of granite-like grey with contrasting highlights, makes it a sought-after addition for reef enthusiasts. Ricordea Yuma are primarily photosynthetic but can also capture small food particles from the water column.

Care Level

With a moderate care level, the Ricordea Yuma ‘Granite’ is best suited for intermediate aquarists. While hardy, they are more sensitive than some other mushroom corals and require stable water parameters. They can be mildly aggressive, so providing adequate space is essential.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature of 22-26°C (72-78°F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and salinity between 1.024-1.026. Moderate to high lighting and low to moderate, indirect water flow are ideal.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the Ricordea Yuma benefits from supplemental feeding 1-2 times per week with microplankton, coral foods like Reef Roids, or finely chopped meaty foods.
