About this item
Flame Flicker Yuma Mushroom
Flame Flicker Yuma Mushroom (Ricordea yuma) is a stunning bubbly mushroom coral prized for its fiery, multi-toned coloration and breathtaking radial pattern. This variant ignites with a smoldering mixture of deep reds, often including splashes of orange and some pink — a gradient that mimics a living flame and demands attention under reef lighting.
Hardy, low-maintenance, and great for propagation, the Flame Flicker Yuma is an excellent choice for reef keepers of all experience levels. That red-to-orange-to-pink color flow is its signature selling point — vivid, warm, and unlike anything else on the sandbed. Given stable conditions, it will encrust, multiply, and become a long-term centerpiece in any system.
