Ricordea yuma is a popular soft coral known for its bright, bubble-like polyps and striking appearance. This small-sized specimen is an excellent addition to marine reef aquariums, offering both visual appeal and relative ease of care.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable.

Placement: Place Ricordea yuma on rockwork or substrate where it can receive moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or stinging.
Care Level: Suitable for beginners to intermediate hobbyists due to its hardy nature.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may harm it.
Origin: Not Provided.
