Representative Ricordea Yumaphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A bubbly yuma with frosted, pale-toned vesicles contrasting against a deeper colored body, the 'frosted' look giving it a soft pastel sheen.
📜 Backstory
A named, WYSIWYG morph collected and conditioned by World Wide Corals (WWC), sold on worldwidecorals.com as the Frosted Nurple Yuma Mushroom. Like most WWC yumas it is a hand-selected colony grown out in their systems; the wild-collection lineage is not publicly detailed, so origin is best treated as debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
Ricordea yuma is more sensitive than R. florida, so keep water quality stable. WWC recommends placing it low in the reef (under ~100 PAR) with low flow and target feeding roughly once a week to keep it plump and colored up.
