๐งก๐ Orange Yuma Mushroom โ A Vibrant Splash for Your Reef! ๐๐งก
If youโre looking for a hardy, colorful, and fast-growing coral, the Orange Yuma Mushroom (Ricordea yuma) is a perfect choice! With its intense orange hues, bumpy texture, and mesmerizing fluorescence, this soft coral is a standout in any reef tank!
๐น Tank Placement: Place in low to mid-light areas, on rockwork or the sand bed. Ensure it has space to spread, as it can multiply quickly!
๐น Lighting: Low to moderate (PAR 50-100). Too much light can cause it to shrink or detach.
๐น Flow: Low to moderate. Too much flow can prevent it from fully expanding.
๐น Feeding: While it absorbs nutrients from the water, target feeding with Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral foods like Reef Roids 1-2 times per week can boost growth and color.
