Ricordea Yuma: A ‘Twilight Zone’ of Vibrant Coral Color

Discover the mesmerizing ‘Twilight’ Ricordea Yuma, a stunning corallimorph that brings psychedelic colors and unique textures to your reef aquarium.

Overview

The ‘Twilight’ Ricordea Yuma, scientifically known as *Ricordea yuma*, is a captivating corallimorph from the Indo-Pacific region. Its most striking feature is its vibrant, often multi-colored appearance, characterized by alternating rows of large and small tentacles surrounding a central mouth. These corals are prized for their unique, bubble-like texture and ability to display an array of dazzling hues, making them a standout addition to any reef setup. Ricordea Yuma are primarily photosynthetic but will readily accept supplemental foods.

Care Level

While often considered suitable for beginners, the ‘Twilight’ Ricordea Yuma can be more sensitive to water quality fluctuations than its *Ricordea florida* cousin. They are semi-aggressive and should be given ample space from other corals due to their mild sting. Consistent, stable water parameters are key to their long-term health.

Tank Essentials

These corals thrive in a minimum tank size of 10 gallons, with stable water parameters being paramount. Aim for a temperature of 72-83°F (22-28°C), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a salinity of 1.024-1.026 specific gravity. Moderate lighting (50-150 PAR) and low to moderate, indirect water flow are ideal.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, Ricordea Yuma benefit greatly from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialized coral foods. Broadcast feeding fine coral foods can also enhance growth and coloration.
