Ricordea yuma (Green) is a captivating soft coral known for its bright green colouration and distinctive bubble-like polyps. Offered here as tiny tank-bred ears, this coral is ideal for hobbyists looking to introduce vibrant texture and movement to their marine aquariums.
Care Level: Easy to Moderate. Ricordea yuma adapts well to a range of conditions but thrives best under moderate lighting and gentle water flow.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and polyp extension. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
