Cycloseris fragilis is a stunning free-living mushroom coral from the family Fungiidae, prized for its unique disc-like shape and vibrant colours. This premium Tiny specimen is perfect for marine reef enthusiasts seeking an eye-catching addition to their aquascape.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow helps keep the coral clean and promotes healthy respiration. Avoid strong currents that may damage its delicate tissue.
Placement: Place Cycloseris fragilis on sandy or rubble substrate where it can rest freely. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow full expansion.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of small meaty foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Maintain stable water parameters typical for reef aquaria: temperature 24-26°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, pH 8.1-8.4, and low nutrient levels.
