Orange Ricordia

Orange Ricordea Florida

Transform Your Tank with a Living Jewel of Color

Looking for a showstopper that actually thrives... The Orange Ricordea Florida is one of the most visually striking corals available to the reef hobby, and a genuinely sought-after piece for collectors and beginners alike. Its bold coloration and unique bubble-textured disc make it immediately recognizable in any saltwater aquarium. Specimens like this don't stay available long.

This particular specimen displays a vivid bright orange body with striking teal green highlights that give it a two-toned depth few corals can match. Ricordea Florida are single-polyp mushroom corals that grow at a satisfying pace, eventually multiplying through natural fission to reward patient aquarists with a spreading colony. They're hardy, non-aggressive, and genuinely forgiving, making them an ideal addition whether you're building your first reef tank or rounding out a mature display.
