Hi guys, I picked this mushroom up today at a coral event. Is this just an orange puffy ricordea yuma or is it a king kong mushroom? How do I differentiate the two? I noticed the green undertone on this mushroom when I crank up the uv and blue lights.

Hard to tell from the pic, but a king kong will have a bright yellow mouth and the ones I have are more pink than orange. The "bumps are more like tentacles. It could be, give it a few days since shows and new tanks can be rough... Did you pick that up at the OC show? I sold out of all my King Kong babies... It is a nice Mushy never the less.

Where you at the OC coral show too? Are you the one that had the baby godzilla for $450?

Yes, I was selling at the show... No, on the baby godzilla... If your looking for a King Kong keep in touch, I should have some more babies soon.
This was my booth...

I'll keep in touch for sure. Baby king kong $40? Wish I'd seen that deal.
 
I saw the same ricordea from few vendors at the OC show last week. I believe this is a type of a king kong variant, however it's no the true king kong. Are these pictures edited?
