Ricordea Yuma: Your Reef Aquarium’s Next Vibrant Star

Introduce unparalleled color and intricate texture to your thriving reef tank with the captivating Ricordea Yuma. These striking corallimorphs offer unique beauty and vibrant charm.

Overview

The Ricordea Yuma is a highly sought-after corallimorph, distinguished by its fleshy polyps and lack of a hard skeleton. Its oral disc is covered in short, club- or berry-shaped tentacles, often arranged in alternating rows of large and small, creating a distinctive textured appearance. Available in an extraordinary array of vibrant colors and patterns, these semi-aggressive “false corals” are a visual delight, bringing dynamic beauty to your underwater landscape.

Care Level

Considered a moderate-care soft coral, the Ricordea Yuma requires stable water parameters and careful placement to truly flourish. While more sensitive than its *Ricordea florida* cousin, it is generally easier to keep than most LPS or SPS corals. Allow ample space between your Yuma and other corals to prevent stinging.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 75 litres is recommended to maintain stable conditions for your Ricordea Yuma. Aim for a specific gravity of 1.025, a pH range of 8.1-8.4, and temperatures between 22-28°C. Provide low to moderate water flow, ensuring it’s gentle enough to prevent detachment, and moderate lighting.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the Ricordea Yuma obtains most nutrition from your aquarium lighting via symbiotic zooxanthellae. Supplement their diet occasionally with finely minced meaty foods like mysis shrimp (half size), zooplankton, or other coral-specific liquid foods for optimal growth and color vibrancy.
