Beginners gravitate toward these corals because they thrive in low light, and their discs come in glowing greens, oranges, reds and rainbow blends that carpet the rock's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, Ricordea and Rhodactis settle onto shaded reef slopes and rubble zones throughout the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean. Gentle water movement and moderate nutrient levels suit them better than bright, high-flow reef crests, so a quieter, dimmer stretch of your aquarium mirrors their natural preference closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach mushroom on AA14 is a soft, disc-shaped polyp fixed to the rock. Look closely and you can tell the genera apart: Ricordea carries a covering of small bubble-like vesicles, whereas Rhodactis is generally larger in diameter with a hairier, fuzzier texture. Colour runs from green through orange, red, blue and rainbow combinations, all of which brighten noticeably under blue lighting. A thriving specimen stays expanded rather than shriveled, and holds tight to its rock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232763003171,"sku":"BA8994","price":295.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/corallimorphs-rock-aa14-ricordea-rhodactis-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
