About Ricordea Mushroom Coral
Ricordea mushrooms have a distinctive surface of rounded bubbles and come in a wide range of colours. They stay small, grow slowly and behave well beside other corals. Most reef keepers place them on low rockwork or rubble on the sand, where gentle flow lets them open fully.
Ricordea Mushroom Coral care at a glance
- Lighting: Low to moderate – 50 to 120 PAR; too much light makes it shrink
- Water flow: Low flow
- Placement: Lower rockwork or shaded ledges
- Feeding: Photosynthetic; absorbs nutrients from the water and takes fine foods
- Care level: Easy – ideal for beginners
Soft corals are forgiving, but stability still matters: aim for 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025 and nitrate that is low but not zero. Start new arrivals in a lower-light spot and let them adjust for a week or two.
