📜 Backstory
The most valuable Ricordea yuma grade, sold simply as 'Rainbow Yuma' by Tidal Gardens, Pacific East Aquaculture, Queen City Corals and many others. A high-end rainbow can show three, four or five colors at once. These are wild-derived Pacific yumas hand-selected for multi-color expression; because it is a grade rather than a clone, any two 'rainbow yumas' differ, and top pieces fetch a steep premium.
Keeper tips for this variant
Yumas want medium-to-high light and low-to-medium flow; multi-color rainbow grades color up best under strong but not bleaching light and benefit from occasional feeding. More sensitive than Florida rics, so keep water quality stable.
