Ricordea florida ORPHEK’S CORAL OF THE DAY

An excellent choice for color diversity as Ricordea have several different color morphs and are not difficult to keep provided proper acclimation is provided. The color is further intensified with the use of Orphek LED Pendants. Ricordea will adapt to Orphek LED lighting with a photo acclimation period. With proper care, these corals rapidly multiply by longitudinal fission.
