Slightly more sensitive than other mushrooms. Caution should be taken with the placement of this coral. It should not be placed in any high current areas and the lighting needs to be just right, not too high and not too low. Use trial and error to find the spot where this Mushroom Coral responds the best in your tank. |

The Ricordea Mushroom Coral (Ricordia Sp.) is sometimes called a Flower Mushroom Coral. It belongs to the family named Ricordeidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2 inches in diameter, the Ricordea Mushroom Coral is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Ricordia Sp. in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a low water current.
