pinky Ricordea Mushroom Coral - Care Requirements

pinky Ricordea Mushroom Coral is a mushroom-type soft coral suited to lower-flow reef areas. This WYSIWYG mushroom coral fits naturally into nano reefs or larger reef displays where protected placement and steady conditions can support normal disc expansion.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, since abrupt increases can stress a mushroom coral and limit normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the disc from being blasted while avoiding direct current that can prevent it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it on lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction, and adjust placement only if lighting or flow appears unsuitable.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. This coral is generally peaceful, but it can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and may crowd corals placed too close.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow, then make gradual adjustments if the coral remains contracted or does not settle comfortably.

A protected location and patient acclimation support reliable day-to-day care.
