Cycloseris spp. are large, free-living Fungiidae corals prized for their striking appearance and unique disc-like shape. These premium specimens are ideal for marine reef aquariums, offering a captivating focal point with their vibrant colours and fleshy polyps.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 lighting systems providing sufficient PAR without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is preferred to ensure the coral’s delicate tissues are not damaged while promoting healthy respiration and nutrient exchange.
Placement: Place Cycloseris spp. on sandy or fine rubble substrate where they can rest freely. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as they can extend sweeper tentacles.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Cycloseris spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods, especially during low light periods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; generally, Cycloseris spp. can reach several centimetres in diameter depending on species and conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: A conservative recommendation is a minimum of 75 litres to provide stable water parameters and space for growth.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable marine aquarium conditions will ensure the health and longevity of this premium coral.
