Royal Ricordea Mushroom Corals: A Splash of Vibrant Color

Discover the stunning “Royal” Ricordea Yuma, a captivating corallimorph known for its intense hues and unique texture, adding a jewel-like quality to your reef aquarium.

Overview

The Royal Ricordea Yuma, a captivating soft coral, originates from the vibrant Indo-Pacific region. It’s celebrated for its dazzling, often multi-colored appearance, featuring bubble-like vesicles and tentacles radiating from a central mouth. These corals, scientifically known as *Ricordea yuma*, are not true corals but belong to the Corallimorpharia order, lacking a calcified skeleton. They typically grow to about 7.5-10 cm (3-4 inches) in diameter, displaying an array of brilliant colors that make them a highlight in any reef tank.

Care Level

While generally considered hardy, Ricordea Yuma, including the Royal variant, can be more sensitive than their Ricordea florida counterparts. They require stable water parameters and gradual acclimation, making them a moderate-care level coral suitable for experienced beginners and intermediate aquarists.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of approximately 40 litres (10 gallons) is recommended. Ricordea Yuma thrives in stable marine water conditions with temperatures between 22-26°C (72-78°F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.023-1.025. They prefer moderate to high lighting and low to moderate, indirect water flow.

Diet

Ricordea Yuma are primarily photosynthetic but benefit greatly from supplemental feeding. Offer small, meaty foods like micro-plankton, brine shrimp, or specialized coral foods 1-2 times per week to enhance coloration and growth.
