So i bought this guy a year ago as a ricordia mushroom at my local frag swap for 20$. It was probably a size of a nickel when i got it. Now its about 2 inch or more. I googled ricordia yuma but most of them have small bubbles.

Anyone know if this is normal or what kind of mushroom coral this is?

Thanks

Is this normal to have big bubbles?

The smaller/regular sized vesicles (aka 'bubbles') is their more normal condition, but the larger bubbles is still fairly common.

Ricordia in general can morph their size, shape and vesicles to adapt to environmental conditions.

I sold both of them locally for 20 each as regular orange yuma. There was probably 8 people messaged me within 2 hours. I guess its a good price :)
