Orange recordia florida5/26/2023 They like substrate or little pieces of rock to hold onto. When try to decide on placement of the Ricordea, Yuma Ricordea, or Mushroom a lot of people would say place them on the sand bed and let the coral do the rest are best for placement in the aquarium However, I disagree with the people that state to place them on the sand bed. Ricordea Corals can handle higher nitrates than SPS or LPS corals. Every coral has its own Requirements so be sure to gather as much information regarding the coral to ensure all requirements have been met. Ricordea Corals are fairly tolerant to a wide range of lighting and flow conditions However, They do NOT like highly intense flow and lighting so placement in the aquarium needs to accommodate all the corals’ specific requirements and needs. Since they are part of the Anemone family, they have a “sticky foot” and they will uproot and “walk” around as they see fit until they either find a place they are happy with or they perish due to not finding a suitable place to call their home. It is very important to remember that Ricordea, Yuma Ricordea, and Mushroom corals are all in the Anemone family. They require supplemental feeding of small leafy foods like planktons, and brine shrimp, in addition to its diet of macro algae tissue. Ricordea are photosynthetic and carnivorous. The Ricordea Coral comes in several colorful combinations which including green, orange, yellow, blue, and purple with blue, orange or purple rings surrounding a contrasting middle color. Ricordea do NOT require a lot to keep them alive and well in your tank(s) as a bonus it’s not too complicated either which also makes them great for beginners. As most hobbyists know, Ricordea Corals are not overly aggressive and make very good tank mates to most established coral colonies and in any reef aquarium.
