Orange Ricordea Mushroom

<div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <p>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.</p> <p>As for the Orange Ricordea Mushroom, they are predominantly colored violet and orange with green mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating Orange Ricordea Mushroom: </p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 - 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> <li>pH: 8.1 - 8.4</li> </ul> </div> </div>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">In the wild, Orange Ricordea Mushroom 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.</span></p>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Orange Ricordea Mushroom. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.</p>

<p>The Orange Ricordea Mushroom requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.</p>

<p>The Orange Ricordea Mushroom can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.</p>

<p>The Orange Ricordea Mushroom has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.</p>

<p>The Orange Ricordea Mushroom is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>

<p>The Orange Ricordea Mushroom has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.</p>
