Lighting
Bright Orange Ricordea mushrooms do best in low to moderate lighting. Start them in a lower light area and allow them time to adjust before moving them into brighter areas of the aquarium.
Flow
Provide gentle to moderate, indirect water flow. Enough flow should keep debris from settling, but avoid strong direct currents that may cause the mushroom to stay closed or detach.
Placement
Place this coral on the substrate, a frag rack, or lower rockwork. Give the Ricordea enough room to expand naturally without being crowded by nearby corals.
Temperament
Ricordea mushrooms are generally peaceful and work well in mixed reef aquariums. Avoid placing them directly against aggressive corals or corals with long sweeper tentacles.
Feeding
Ricordea mushrooms can absorb nutrients from the water column and may benefit from occasional target feeding with small coral foods. Feeding can help support growth, color, and overall health.
