[dreko]

Hard to tell, but they look like Rhodactis Hairy Mushroom Corals...

 

[crox99]

There aren't yuma.

 

[MisterMiLk]

[MisterMiLk]

[Deanos]

Another vote for Rhodactis mushrooms. You paid a fair price.

 

[noodleman]

dont think they're yumas, but they are very nice shrooms

 

[MisterMiLk]

cool...they are purple edged, teal mid, and gold bumps on em....theres more than a dozen on the rock...$50...pretty good deal?

 

[reefman]

besides that yumas r generally bigger prettier n from the indo pacific, r there any more distinictive ways of telling them apart?

 

[DRZL]

that really is your call, you decide if theyre worth it IMO, $50 for shrooms, I personally wouldnt pay that, but im an SPS snob:chef:

[digitalreefer]

If you like them, they're worth it. I'd buy them for $5-$10 each, so 12 for 50 seems good to me.

 

[scarf_ace1981]

those are very nice

 

[lfsmarineguy]

definitely not Yuma. All rics have a fringe of tentacles and these have a flat outer edge I think the little "bumps" all over the disc r what's throwing you. Pics are very blurry still hard to pin down what it looks like. I am saying with 95% certainty that it is a discosoma and not a rhodactis, due to the pimple like pattern of protrusions along the surface. Rhodactis have a more even distribution of "tentacles" or patches of tentacles along it's surface. Either way they are pretty nice I'd say you got a deal on them.

 

[lfsmarineguy]

Also, the easiest way to tell r. florida from r. yuma is theat yuma will have tentacles around the mouth stalk while florida will be smooth. Surest way to tell if ever in doubt. Mostly you can just look at them and know though they are kind of distinct after awhile.

 

[ReeferGoneMad]

Those are nice shrooms. Those are also some color morph of rhodactis sp. Not a discosoma sp. What u thought they were are called a ricordea (Florida) or a R. yuma because they are so closely related. Next time u want a yuma look for a distictive green rimmed mouth. Those are most likely yumas.. And IMO 50 bucks aint bad for 12 of em

 

[MisterMiLk]

thanks for the feedback all, very much appreciated....

 

[lfsmarineguy]

pretty sure it's an actinodiscus (discosoma syn.). What species of rhodactis do you think it is?

 

[Deanos]

What species of rhodactis do you think it is?

Rhodactis inchoata
