Ricordea Florida

Ricordea florida

Ricordea Florida is one of the most collectible mushroom corals in the hobby, prized for its vibrant bubble-tipped polyps that come in stunning shades of orange, green, blue, and rainbow multi-color morphs. Native to the Caribbean, it is hardier than its Pacific cousin (Ricordea Yuma) and thrives under moderate light with gentle flow. It reproduces slowly by splitting and high-end color morphs can command premium prices ($50-200+ per polyp).
