How do I place the coral?
Place it a little lower or in a shadier spot first, then move it gradually into full light over one to two weeks.
Typical requirements of the genus – individual specimens may differ.
Difficulty
Easy – very hardy and adaptable.
Light
Low to moderate; too much light makes the discs shrink.
Flow
Low to moderate.
Placement
Lower zone or shaded areas, ideally on their own rocks.
Feeding
Ricordea and Yuma readily accept small pieces of food.
Mushroom corals such as Discosoma, Rhodactis, Ricordea and Yuma are among the most rewarding corals for a reef aquarium. Their flat oral discs, some covered with small bubbles, show bright colours that look particularly intense under blue light. They cope well with little light and moderate nutrients and reproduce by division. Ricordea and Yuma close their disc around small morsels of food when fed. Allow some space, as mushroom corals can slowly spread across the rock.
