The photos are of the Yuma Mushroom, WYSIWYG Live Coral for sale on a standard 3/4" frag plug. Last photo is of the Mother King Kong Yuma Mushroom that this offspring came from.
 

The King Kong Yuma Mushroom is a powerhouse of color, earning its name with a massive presence and a high-contrast palette that demands attention. This Ricordea yuma features a deep purple-blue base covered in densely packed, oversized bubbles that transition from a rich orange to glowing gold. At the center sits a brilliant neon green mouth that provides a sharp, electric contrast to the warm tones of the mantle.

 

Unlike standard mushrooms, the King Kong strain is known for its incredible texture and "bumpy" look, which only gets more impressive as the coral matures. It is a hardy, semi-aggressive LPS that thrives in low-to-moderate light and gentle flow. Under heavy actinics, the orange bubbles take on a metallic shimmer, making it a perfect centerpiece for a dedicated mushroom garden or the lower rockwork of a mixed reef.

 

This is a WYSIWYG listing, so you’ll receive the exact high-end mushroom pictured—fully expanded and showcasing its signature colors.

 

Lighting: Mushroom corals prefers lower to medium lighting. Avoid placing it directly under intense light, as this can cause it to bleach or lose its vibrant coloration. A good starting point is the sand bed or a shaded area on your rockwork.
 

Currently kept under Kessil A360X units. Mounting height 24" above water line. 12:00PM - 10:00PM at 100% blue intensity.

 

Water Flow: This coral prefers low to very low water flow. Strong, direct flow can cause the mushroom's tissue to retract and prevent it from opening fully. It can also cause the coral to detach from its frag plug and get blown around the tank.

 

Feeding: While not strictly required, occasional supplemental feeding can help promote faster growth and enhanced health. You can spot-feed the Sunfire Ricordea with small, meaty foods like finely chopped mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or high-quality coral pellets. Feed it when the lights are off or at a low setting.

 

Placement: The ideal placement is on the sand bed or a lower section of your aquascape where it receives gentle flow and lower light.
