Description
The 25 Lot Ricordea, featuring a mix of 22 multicolor and 3 orange Ricordea mushrooms, adds a splash of diverse and vibrant color to reef aquariums. Known for their distinctive bumpy texture and dynamic color combinations, these Ricordea mushrooms are ideal for aquarists seeking both visual appeal and ease of care. The assortment of greens, blues, yellows, and orange tones makes this coral group perfect for creating a lively and colorful underwater landscape.
Ricordea mushrooms are peaceful corals, well-suited for a reef environment where they can thrive alongside other tank inhabitants without causing harm. They prefer moderate to low lighting and can adapt to various water flow levels, although gentle movement is ideal to maintain their shape and health. These corals naturally attach to rockwork or other surfaces, allowing them to spread and form clusters over time.
Primarily filter feeders, Ricordea mushrooms absorb nutrients from the water column but can also benefit from occasional feedings of phytoplankton or small meaty foods to support growth and vibrancy. Consistent water quality and stable parameters are essential to maintaining their health and coloration.
For aquarists looking to enhance their reef setup with low-maintenance, visually striking corals, the 25 Lot Ricordea is an excellent choice. Their resilience and ability to coexist peacefully in a mixed reef environment make them a valuable addition, adding both beauty and functionality to any marine aquarium.
