I see it as just a yuma ricordea, but labeled as "ultra" grade. Regardless it is a very nice one, congrats on the addition. :)
 
hey, i got a nice yuma just like that a month or so ago, but it detatched from its rock. it floated around FOREVER before i finally got it to reattatch securely. still though, a few weeks since it attatched it is not open niely. it is Tiny, like halfan inch but when i got it it was huge. what can i do to get it to open again?
 
They label them like that "premium", "ultra" etc. The special reason would be that it has a nicer coloration.

Well Its recovering now but I heard that if you get whatever food you are using(meaty like frozen mysis for example) just a little bit and Blend it with some water from your tank just to make that water cloudy and try to get that rock out of the tank and in that water for like half an hour, the ricordea will absorb that food from the water and it will recover faster. You have to do it once or twice a week until its healthy. But if the ricordia its attach to a big rock well just let it be and wait a little more.
 
It looks like it's getting a ton of light, those usually take a while to adapt to captive lighting and can burn really easily. I'd recommend sandbed/shade to acclimate it...
