This is one of our first corals. We don’t know if it’s a Yuma or a Florida. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It looks like it glows in person.

Id guess yuma from the radial bumps and tentacles close to the mouth.

It may help to know the size. I can't tell scale from your photo.

It’s nearly 4 inches when it fully opens. It’s usually wrinkled up a bit though. We’ve had it for 8 months now. It was about 1.5 inches when we bought it.

That's a pretty big FLORIDA ricordia.
There are no bumps on the mouth. When you see enough of them you will notice it easier.
I'm guessing there's at least one more mouth not visible in the pic? Accounting for its large size.
Time to pull out the razor and force a split! (Not necessary, but it is satisfying seeing 1 become 2!)

No, just one mouth. I’ll let it split on its own. Thanks!
