Overview

The Pink Lagoon Ricordea Yuma, often called a Flower Mushroom or Yuma Mushroom Coral, is a captivating corallimorph known for its bubble-like texture and intense coloration. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, these corals feature a central mouth surrounded by short, tentacle-like vesicles that give them a unique, almost jewel-like appearance. They display a stunning range of pink hues, often with vibrant undertones, making them a truly eye-catching addition to your reef. Ricordea Yuma are photosynthetic but will benefit from supplemental feeding.

Care Level

Beginner to Intermediate. While generally hardy, Ricordea Yuma can be slightly more sensitive than their close relatives, Ricordea florida. They require stable water parameters and can be sensitive to sudden changes in lighting or flow, so patience during acclimation is key.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 40 litres (10 gallons) is recommended. These corals thrive in low to moderate water flow and prefer moderate lighting; avoid intense, direct light which can cause them to bleach or shrink. Stable water parameters are crucial: maintain a pH of 8.1–8.4, a temperature of 24–27°C (75–80°F), and a salinity of 1.023–1.025.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, Ricordea Yuma also benefit from supplemental feedings of small, meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialized coral foods 1-2 times per week.
