🧬 Overview
The Ricordea yuma “Super Bubble XXL Red” is a high-impact mushroom coral known for its intense red coloration and oversized vesicle structure. This morph delivers a bold, warm-toned presence in the reef, with a deep red base that appears almost molten under reef lighting.
Its signature bubble texture gives it a fully inflated, 3D appearance, making it a standout even in minimal flow zones. Under blue spectrum lighting, the red base deepens while the orange mouth glows brightly, creating a powerful focal point in any aquascape.
As it settles and matures, it can expand significantly, becoming a dominant and visually rich feature in the system.

📈 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
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 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.
