Sold as a Ricordea, doesn't look like it to me

[mje113]

I got this in a mixed box of ricordeas. I love it but not sure what it is, can someone help me ID?

Possibly a Yuma? Picture isn’t the best

Looks like a Yuma to me as well, which is a type of ric

In theory it would have been collected in Florida, not sure if that matters and not 100% positive that's the case.

better pic incoming...

If Florida/Caribbean, then I'd put my money on 'St. Thomas Ric'.

These guys can get big (to around 8" dia.) and they pack a pretty powerful sting.

Looks like a St Thomas to me.

+1 Saint Thomas. It also could be a "bounce" ricordea. They can get some funky bubbles if placed under intense blues.

Sting to me or other critters in the tank?

Critters.

 

[FIN&BONEZ]

Treat it as an anemone

 

[ScionFRSguy]

It looks like a Saint Thomas shroom. If so, nice score! People seem to like them more than regular ricordeas.

 

[MONTANTK]

Saint Thomas mushroom for sure

Other corals.

I had two of these beauties that came in at ~3", but in a 12g nano they puffed up greatly and so took up ~1/3 of the total space in just a few short months.

Great for a larger aquarium, but there are reports that they *may* possibly be able to snare slower and smaller fish.
