what are the basic tank requirements for ricordia yuma? Lighting, flow, tank placement, dosing.

A site that got me started. There are many others out there. You will probably get different opinions as yumas can be kept successfully in many differetn set-ups. Lighting can range from PC to MH and some from what I understand have kept them under T5. Just start off with good water parameters, fully cycled tank, basically for most mushrooms.
The thing is to not move them around too often, don't expose them to air and don't let corals that aren't in the corallimorpharian class come in contact with them.
After these basics it is pretty much up to you how you want to care for them as far as feeding, light adjustments, etc. and hang around sites that are dedicated to their care. Luck

I didnt know that about not exposing them to air mate, I was gonna whip mine out to slice him in half, guess I shouldnt do that then???!!
 
They can come out, but they don't take it like FL rics do. They won't attatch and stay in place afterwards like Fl rics. Most yumas aren't exposed to air like Fl rics at low tides as theya re deeper on the reefs. Pull wild greens out and you are sure to eventually have most of them melt.
