Hey!

I bought this yesterday and assumed it was Ricordea Florida but the polyps and colours look weird. It doesn't quite look like Yuma either? I'm unsure what I have...

Any ideas?

Not the best photos but the best I could get.

I am not a shroom expert, but I believe you can rule out Ricordea Florida.
 
Yuma, very common down here. May change colour depending on the light.

I moved it to a better spot and the tentacles are slowly getting closer together and less sprawling.

More colour is developing too. More blues and purples. It's an interesting little mushroom, whatever the species!
 
I miss having Florida Ricordea. I had a huge rock covered in orange, blue and green ones a long time ago.
I dont even think they'll survive in my tank now.
