Hello everyone, I recently purchased a mushroom at my LFS and I forgot to ask him what the name of this yuma is. Does anyone know? It was pretty expensive for the size (smaller than a penny).

These were taken in blue lights with a yellow filter

This is under heavier white also with a yellow filter

Things I see that the camera couldn't pick up:
The base is blue-purplish and the bumps are heavy orange, with the base of the bump being a little purplish. The mouth is lime green/

Thank you in advance!

Yeah, mine looks nothing like that. I paid $45 for it. Maybe Aquasd just has a different type of King Kong? or they might've labeled it wrong... I don't really know.

When I google King Kong Ricordea, I get pictures similar to yours. Dark blue white very little orange.

Aquasd called these King Kongs too which looks similar to mine???

Okay I just took a pic of the Ricordea again. This is what it currently looks like. I've also edited this picture to a more accurate color that I see but couldn't get it quite right.

The base looks like the color in the left picture and the color of the bumps look more like the right picture
