Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colours. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure proper gas exchange and nutrient delivery without damaging the delicate tissue.
Placement: Being a free-living coral, Cycloseris fragilis can be placed on sandy substrate or flat rock surfaces. Provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow full expansion.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as plankton or coral-specific liquid feeds.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid contact with other corals, as it can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in maintaining stable reef conditions.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential to ensure long-term health.
