Got these in a tank breakdown sale a while back. Any idea what they are? The colors are pretty neat, IMO. Pink/Red, blue/purple, green.

I don't think they are yumas, but the have cool coloration. Perhaps actinodiscus? If they have a bumpy texture, they might be rhodactis, but they look fairly smooth in the pic

Could be, but I don't think it's a Riccordea yuma - not enough vessicles (bumps) A yuma has vessicles all the way around the mouth and the disc is usually much denser packed. Yumas are typically bulbed like that though. I'd look into Actinodiscus and Discoma species that get pronounced vessicles as well - they often swell when stressed or defending themselves. Rhodactis typically have pronounced vessicles but often forked or straight and narrow instead of bulbed like yours, IME. I could very well be wrong though...

Those are a pimpled mushroom that comes in from I believe either Bali or Vietnam, they can morph quite a bit depending on lighting. Generic, but with the right macro shot and lighting they can look pretty good. Most LA shops tend to have them on hand fairly often :)
