- Family: Ricordeidae
- Species: Mushroom Ricordea
- Scientific Name: Ricordea sp
General info about Yellow Interstellar 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 Yellow Interstellar Ricordea, they are predominantly colored violet and green with yellow tentacles. This are the water parameters for cultivating Yellow Interstellar 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
Yellow Interstellar Ricordea Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Yellow Interstellar 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 Yellow Interstellar Ricordea
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Yellow Interstellar Ricordea. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Yellow Interstellar Ricordea
The Yellow Interstellar Ricordea requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Yellow Interstellar Ricordea Origin
The Yellow Interstellar Ricordea can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Caution Should be Taken with Yellow Interstellar Ricordea
The Yellow Interstellar Ricordea has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.
How to Acclimate Yellow Interstellar Ricordea
The Yellow Interstellar Ricordea is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Yellow Interstellar Ricordea
The Yellow Interstellar Ricordea has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
