🧬 Overview
The Galactic Ember Ricordea Yuma is an extraordinary XL polyp morph celebrated for its vivid blend of colours and texture. Its oversized surface and bubble-like nodules create a dynamic play of light and shadow that captures the eye from any angle.
This coral radiates life — a cosmic dance of orange fire and green sparks set against cool grey tones. Perfect for collectors seeking a statement piece that combines rarity, vibrance, and motion in one organism.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Ricordea yuma is primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional target feeding with microplankton, Reef Roids, or finely chopped Mysis once or twice per week. Stable trace elements (iron, iodine, and manganese) enhance colour intensity and polyp inflation.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place on shaded sandbed areas or low rockwork where flow is soft and indirect. Allow space around the coral to expand fully without competition for light or contact with other soft corals.
