Pacific Ricordea Yuma Mushroom Rock also called Pacific Flower Mushroom Rock, are found only in the Indo-Pacific zones, on the sea floor in relatively shallow, tropical or subtropical ocean environments. Distinctive features include a large mouth disk that takes up most of the organism, and brightly colored tentacles. Ricordea yuma have a large oral disk, covered in tentacles that spread out from the center in a spiral formation. The oral disk connects ventrally to a thin body, with a foot disk at its end. Like most Corallimorpharia, Ricordea yuma are very colorful. Ricordea Yuma can grow in size from less than a quarter of an inch up to approximately 3 inches in diameter. Ricordea yuma can reproduce both sexually, and asexually by budding a new coral with replicated elements from the mother coral. This may be one mechanism of how they are able to spread and overtake areas rapidly. Ricordea yuma’s closest relative, and the only other member of the genus Ricordea, is Ricordea florida. |
