King Kong Yuma Mushroom

What It Is
The King Kong Yuma is a premium Ricordea yuma mushroom coral featuring a dense covering of inflated vesicles and exceptional colour contrast. This variety displays a dark base overlaid with vibrant orange and gold bubbles, creating a striking appearance that becomes even more intense under blue reef lighting. Each polyp develops its own unique pattern, making every specimen slightly different.

Why We Like It
Yumas are already among the most sought-after mushroom corals, but King Kong Yumas take things to another level. The combination of intense colour, oversized bubbles and incredible fluorescence makes them a true collector’s coral. Even as a small frag, this variety attracts attention immediately and adds a splash of high-end colour to any reef display.

Notes
King Kong Yumas generally colour best under stable conditions and moderate nutrient levels. Avoid placing newly acquired specimens in excessively high light, as they may require time to acclimate. Given suitable conditions, they can gradually reproduce by division, forming impressive colonies over time. Their compact size makes them ideal for mushroom gardens, nano reefs and collectors looking for unusual and eye-catching specimens.
