Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Orange and Green Ricordea Mushroom Coral is a species of colorful and hardy soft coral native to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Panama. They come in a variety of colors including pink, orange, green, blue, and purple. This species of coral is known for its distinctive flower-like polyps and is an incredibly popular choice among aquarists. In an aquarium setting, Ricordea florida is relatively easy to care for and can thrive in a wide range of water parameters. It should be placed on a substrate that is not too coarse, as this may damage the delicate polyps. Ricordea florida will benefit from being fed small pieces of meaty foods, at least twice a week. Watch as they grow throughout the marine-scape! Since they can easily produce and grow, be sure to provide enough space between neighbors.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
