Bounce Yuma Mushroom - Green

Introduce an absolute luxury rarity to your low-reef layout. The Bounce Yuma Mushroom takes the classic, textured beauty of a Ricordea yuma and elevates it to collector status with highly mutated, drastically enlarged pseudotentacles. These inflated, glowing "bounce" bubbles rise from a vibrant base of neon orange, hot pink, or metallic green, creating an unforgettable three-dimensional texture that pulses gently under your water current. 

Under heavy actinic LED lighting, this premium soft coral explodes with an intense, unmatched fluorescence, making it a high-status centerpiece for any dedicated reef aquarium. 

Demands attention with its uniquely inflated, pillow-like vesicles. Because these mutated bubbles grow, split, and intensify in color as the mushroom matures, your specimen develops into a completely custom, one-of-a-kind living treasure.

Extremely sensitive to intense illumination. High PAR will quickly cause Ricordea yuma to shrink, bleach, or detach from its rockwork. Place it in shaded zones, under low ledges, or deep on the sandbed beneath heavy blue spectrums for safety and maximum color pop. 

Requires minimal water movement. Strong powerhead blasts will prevent the mushroom from fully expanding its fleshy body and can cause its dramatic bounce bubbles to deflate. Provide a slow, wrapping, laminar current.

Mushrooms cannot be glued directly to their flesh. This premium specimen comes pre-attached to a small piece of live rock rubble or a frag plug. Place it on a stable surface where it can slowly spread its foot and encrust onto your main aquascape.

While it derives energy from its symbiotic zooxanthellae, it responds beautifully to supplemental target feeding. Offering it dissolved organic foods, micronized coral powders, or micro-plankton once a week will support its thick tissue health and boost its slow growth rate.
