What type of morph is this

Hello all, I live in Australia and we find it very hard to get Yummas and very nice rics, but we do get them now and then. I have picked these up today at my LFS and i would love to know if these are or one of them is a Yumma or Ric. Ta ONYX

They all look like Ricordea Yuma to me. Assuming that the small 2 on the left are the same as the others on the same rock.

What is that blue stuff?? If that is coraline that is insane! Looks more like a sponge.

Thanks all

Wow, thats a blow out. To find a yuma in Australia, I thought that they only were available in the America and around you. I will be takeing very good care of it, I also swoped a ric for another so my collection is slowly getting bigger, it's hard to find the first, now i have the tast.
Thank you all for letting me know what it was.
Thanks ONYX

Yuma Ricordea mushrooms are the Indonesian variety of ricordea. They are actually found all over the place near you. I wouldn't be surprised if you can find them in Australian reefs since you are close to Indonesia. The Florida Ricordea are the Carribean variety that are found over here.
