Biota Green Yuma Mushroom
Like most other mushroom anemones, yuma mushrooms (Ricordiasp.) are relatively hardy and require minimal care.However, yumas certainly stand out for their bubbly surface texture and sometimes large size.These green yuma mushrooms from Biota present a great opportunity to acquire a guaranteed captive-cultivatedRicordiaof a nice strain at a great price.These single-polyp specimens are an especially good choice for beginning reef keepers who wish to try out their system with tough varieties for a while before moving on to more expensive or delicate strains.With their neon green glow over a blue-green base color, these yumas certainly do notlooklike a "beginner" mushroom!
These are semi-aggressive mushrooms that are sometimes labeled as "not reef-safe" on account of their ability to grow/reproduce rapidly and outcompete neighboring corals for space.They are best placed near the bottom (especially in brightly lit tanks) in an area with plenty of area to spread out such as a flat rock over the sand bed.
