Description
The 100 Lot Ricordea, a mix of 85 multicolor and 15 orange Ricordea mushrooms, brings a vibrant spectrum of colors and textures to any reef aquarium. Known for their bumpy, bubble-like texture and vivid hues, Ricordea mushrooms are highly valued by hobbyists for their unique appearance and ease of care. This assorted lot is ideal for those looking to create a dynamic display of greens, blues, yellows, and orange tones, perfect for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
Ricordea are peaceful corals that cohabit well with other reef-safe species, making them an excellent choice for a diverse reef setup. They thrive in moderate to low lighting and are adaptable to various flow levels, although gentle water movement is preferred. These corals can attach to rockwork or substrate, gradually spreading over time to form a colorful carpet.
As filter feeders, Ricordea mushrooms primarily absorb nutrients from the water column, but they can benefit from occasional target feeding of small, meaty foods such as brine shrimp or phytoplankton. Providing a stable environment with consistent water parameters will promote growth and maintain their vibrant coloration.
For aquarists seeking a low-maintenance yet visually striking coral, the 100 Lot Ricordea offers a beautiful and diverse addition to reef tanks. Their resilience and compatibility with various tank mates make them a versatile choice, enhancing any marine aquarium with their dynamic colors and textures.
