Solomon Party Princess Ricordea Mushroom
(Ricordea yuma)
Product Description
The Solomon Party Princess Ricordea Mushroom is a show-stopping coral that brings an immediate burst of psychedelic color and texture to any reef aquarium. Hailing from the pristine waters of the Solomon Islands, this highly-sought-after morph is defined by its incredibly vivid, multi-color palette and unique, bubbly texture.
Each polyp features a mesmerizing pattern of deep pink to lavender-purple polyps offset by brilliant, electric yellow and lime-green oral discs and tentacles. When fully inflated under actinic lighting, the entire colony glows with an intensity unmatched by common Ricordea. This is a cluster of pure saturation and movement that is perfect for the avid collector.
Care Requirements & Placement
Ricordea mushrooms are generally hardy and are an excellent choice for reef keepers of all experience levels.
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
| Lighting | Low to Moderate (50-150 PAR) |
| Water Flow | Low to Gentle (Avoid direct, strong flow) |
| Placement | Bottom to Mid-Level on stable rockwork or sandbed. |
| Water Quality | Stable parameters; benefits from slightly elevated nutrients (Nitrate ≈5−10 ppm). |
| Feeding | Photosynthetic, but benefits greatly from occasional target feeding of fine meaty foods (like crushed Mysis or reef pellets). |
Note: Ricordea yuma (Solomon Islands variety) generally prefers slightly cleaner water and less fluctuation than its Caribbean counterpart, R. florida. Avoid excessively high light, which can cause bleaching and retraction. Give it plenty of space on a dedicated piece of rock to encourage propagation and growth.
