I bought this adorable Ricordea Yuma yesterday at my LFS. It is a translucent white base with pale neon orange and green stripes. I just saw a video that stated a white mushroom is bleached and dying. This mushroom looks very healthy. Is it infact sick and dying?

Can't see much, too far away. Bleached doesn't mean it will die, it means it's blown its zooxanthella. They can repopulate those, as they do, color will return. If not, then yes, the coral will starve to death and die. If it has some color on it, it has a chance.

Thank you . I will keep my fingers crossed. It was difficult to take a picture since it shows up as a bright white light no matter what lights I used.
