I'd say ricordea fla. yuma tends to have bumps in radial lines like spokes.
Rics come in a literal rainbow of colors.

Yep - ricordea yuma

Im hoping it is a Ricordia, I havent had very good luck with Yuma. Bought 2 different colors and both shrunk up and died. They were beautiful. Not sure what went wrong, All 7 of my ricordia are growing like weeds!

Ricordia comes in 2 types Floridia, from Caribbean and yuma from pacific.
Yuma can be more trouble, maybe because their home waters are cooler than we keep our tanks.
Ricordia Florida and Ricordia Yuma

agree with the rest

Started as one and then it started walking all up my rockwork leaving pieces

I may need to move it then. I have it about half way up right now in medium flow. All the other Ricordia fla are on the bottom under overhang exactly as you say but I dont have anymore room there haha.

Hardest part is getting them to attach. If he's not flapping in the flow and he's open, leave him.

Yea my other Ricordia do not look like this and they are Fla for sure. Thanks
