Bright Yuma Mushroom (WYSIWYG)
Transform Your Tank with the Exact Specimen You See — No Guessing, No Surprises
Looking for a Yuma Mushroom with color you can actually verify before you buy? This is a WYSIWYG listing — what's photographed is exactly what ships to you. And what's photographed is a bright, vividly colored Ricordea yuma that showcases the full potential of the species: rich, saturated color across a densely textured surface covered in the characteristic bubble-like oral tentacles that make Yumas one of the most visually distinct soft corals in the saltwater aquarium hobby. No approximations, no color variation disclaimer — this specific polyp is yours.
Yumas are easy to keep and endlessly rewarding — low light, low flow, stable parameters, and occasional target feeding are all they ask for. They reproduce by splitting over time and only improve with age. A bright WYSIWYG specimen like this one is exactly how a reef collection should be built — you see it, you want it, you get it.
