This extra large specimen offers a substantial presence in your aquarium, showcasing a beautiful rainbow palette that adds dynamic colour variation.

Care and Husbandry

• Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal. Ricordea yuma thrives under LED or T5 lighting that mimics natural reef conditions without excessive intensity.
• Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to ensure the coral’s polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
• Placement: Position in a shaded or mid-level area of the tank to avoid direct, intense light. Provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or stinging.
• Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. It coexists well with other soft corals and many reef-safe fish species.
• Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, Ricordea yuma benefits from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral-specific liquid foods to promote growth and vibrancy.

Additional Information

Regular water quality maintenance, including stable parameters and low nutrient levels, will support the health and longevity of this coral. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
