General info about Dipping Dots Ricordea
In general, mushroom corals coming from the genus Ricordea have small and rounded body with berry shaped tentacles. Both sides of the Ricordea Mushroom Corals are functional where the bottom part acts as a locomotive mechanism while the top portion acts as a mouth.
As for the Dipping Dots Ricordea, they are predominantly colored violet with orange tentacles. This are the water parameters for cultivating Dipping Dots Ricordea:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
- pH: 8.1 - 8.4
Dipping Dots Ricordea Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Dipping Dots Ricordea has developed a symbiotic feeding relationship with marine algae called zooxanthellae that is living within their tissues. But in captivity, you have to feed them with nanoplankton and you may add dissolved organics in the water.
Fragging / Propagating Dipping Dots Ricordea
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Dipping Dots Ricordea. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Dipping Dots Ricordea
The Dipping Dots Ricordea requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Dipping Dots Ricordea Origin
The Dipping Dots Ricordea can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Caution Should be Taken with Dipping Dots Ricordea
The Dipping Dots Ricordea has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.
How to Acclimate Dipping Dots Ricordea
The Dipping Dots Ricordea is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Dipping Dots Ricordea
The Dipping Dots Ricordea has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
