Regular Yuma or bounce Yuma?

Hi everybody hope you all are enjoying your day. Bought this Yuma at my LFS the other day and it looks like it’s a bounce to me. Just wanted to hear what everyone else thinks to confirm.

Thanks

Looks pretty bouncy to me! Yumas can lose their bouncy-ness if given more light. If it still holds the large bubbles and its offsprings are also bubbly, I would say it's a bounce yuma like King Kong and Godzillas.

I have some as well. I believe they are called bubble yuma too. I also have bounce rhodactis, and there are subtle differences.

That’s a sick collection man! Beautiful shrooms!

Yes this is a bouncing yuma. I have a colony of them and I don’t find light to be an issue, intact mine are high in the tank and get a decent amount of PAR yet still bubble. I’ve found flow to be more of a factor, under lower flow I find this (possibly genetic) mutation to not be as prominent but under higher flow I find it to be very prominent.
