**Make a Statement in Your Reef with the Bold, Eye-Catching Yuma Mushroom**
The Yuma Mushroom Coral doesn’t blend in—it takes over. Known for its intense coloration and aggressive presence, this is a high-impact showpiece that demands attention in any serious reef tank.
This Ricordea yuma variety sports a densely textured base speckled with vivid oranges, reds, and deep purples. Iridescent neon green and electric blue tips radiate under blue-heavy LED lighting, seeming to glow from within. Multi-toned oral mouths contrast sharply, giving the coral a layered, high-definition appearance that stands out even from across the room.
Unlike branching SPS or LPS corals, the Yuma Mushroom grows in a spreading, encrusting mat, with fleshy, bubbled polyps that expand dramatically when conditions are right. While slightly slower growing than classic Ricordea florida, it excels in establishing colorful carpets along your rockwork.
**Care Requirements:**
- **Care Level:** Moderate
- **Lighting:** Medium to High (thrives under blue-spectrum LEDs)
- **Flow:** Low to Medium (gentle flow preferred to prevent polyp stress)
- **Placement:** Bottom to lower-mid (ideal for islands or ledges)
- **Growth Form:** Encrusting, polyp expansion
If you’re building a reef that turns heads, the Yuma Mushroom is a non-negotiable. With its saturated coloring and aggressive visual impact, this coral earns its place in the lineup of any collector who demands more than the basics.
