Not Sure About This Shroom??

Arcticfirefighter · Nov 30, 2019

So I picked this little guy up at my LFS yesterday, and none of us could figure out what it was. Not sure if it's some kind of Rainbow hybrid or something that's been bleached. I told them I would give it a home and see how it goes. Anyone know what kind it may be, or if it's just bleached? It's nice and puffy and seemed to eat Reef Roids today. Thanks!!

it looks fairly similar to mine, (a ricordea Yuma). They come in all sorts of colors, maybe neon green for yours?

I have a bunch of those and it just doesn't look the same as anything I have seen before. I am completely stumped on this one.

Ricordea in the middle of splitting. Hard to tell if Florida or Yuma but I am leaning to the former.

Any idea why it is so white?

Bleached or it’s fairly young and has only been in shadow.

Looks like a Florida Ricordea to me... but appears bleached. I bet that will color up beautifully and surprise us all after it's healthy... maybe some orange in there waiting to come out... maybe a tri-color florida ricordea!

It would be awesome if it turned out to be a Tri-color.

Go Bucks!! Couldn't have been happier with the game today! On to Indy! O-H!

Thanks! This was exactly what I was hoping it was. Now I play the waiting game till it colors up.

That is definitely NOT a yuma. Yuma's have bumps on their mouth walls while the florida's do not. As mentioned, this one is bleached, probably due to being in the shade.
