Inject an explosive burst of tropical color into your tank floor with our Ultra Pink & Orange Ricordea Yuma! This exact-item (WYSIWYG) specimen is a masterclass in coral color theory.

Why It Deserves a Spot in Your Tank:
- High-End Fluorescent Core: The hot-pink-to-orange gradient is one of the rarest color combinations found in Pacific corallimorphs.
- Juicy Bubble Texture: Unlike flatter mushroom variants, the Yuma features highly dimensional, tightly clustered spherical tentacles that give it a plush 3D profile.
- Safe Colonial Spreading: Once settled, it naturally reproduces by dropping tiny fragments of its fleshy foot as it moves across rockwork, steadily growing a vibrant local colony.
- Excellent Sandbed Island Candidate: Totally peaceful toward other Ricordea yuma morphs, allowing you to pair it up with green or purple variations to construct a spectacular multi-color mushroom garden.
Quick Care Parameters:
- Lighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 50 - 100). Pro Tip: Keep it in a lower, shaded area at first. High-intensity light can stress Yumas and cause their beautiful pink center to bleach or lose contrast.
- Water Flow: Low, gentle indirect flow. Strong currents will irritate the polyps and prevent the delicate bubbles from expanding to their full potential.
- Placement: Bottom rockwork, rubble zones, or an isolated sandbed structure.
- Diet: Photosynthetic, but loves target feeding. It responds beautifully to weekly spot-feedings of fine particulate micro-plankton or powdered reef foods for faster growth.
