🧬 Overview
The Ricordea yuma “Super Bubble XXL Purple” is a premium mushroom coral, celebrated for its deep purple coloration and oversized vesicle structure. This morph delivers a luxurious, high-contrast look, with its rich purple tones acting as a perfect backdrop for the glowing orange mouth.
Its signature “bubble” texture creates a pronounced 3D effect, giving the coral a full, inflated appearance that stands out even in calmer areas of the aquarium. Under blue spectrum lighting, the purple deepens into a rich, almost royal hue, while the orange centre radiates with intense fluorescence.
As it settles and matures, this XXL specimen can expand significantly, becoming a dominant focal piece within the aquascape.

📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 400–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm

📍 Placement
Place in a low-flow, lower-light area to allow full expansion and maintain its bubble structure. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause the vesicles to retract.
