Pinky Ricordea Mushroom Coral - Care Requirements

Pinky Ricordea Mushroom Coral is a mushroom-type soft coral with a fleshy disc-shaped polyp. This WYSIWYG mushroom coral suits reef keepers looking for a soft coral with a pink-toned appearance and glowing center detail. Its fleshy disc form makes it a natural fit for lower, more protected areas of the reef.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low, indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas or protected rockwork
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, since abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after it is expanding comfortably.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals you do not want it to contact as it grows or spreads. It is generally peaceful, but its spread should be monitored when planning nearby placement.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Make adjustments gradually, especially if the coral remains contracted or receives direct current.

Give it gentle conditions and room to settle before making further adjustments.
