General info about Fireball Diaseris

In general, corals from the genus Cycloseris have polyps that are irregularly outlined and mostly composed of brittle wedges that can easily break off. Their mouth is usually colored yellow or beige with some green undertone both at the center and at the outer edges of their skeletal structure. For taxonomic purposes, Cycloseris is the new genus that is derived from its old counterpart - Diaseris, which is no longer valid at present times.

For the Fireball Diaseris, they are predominatly colored violet, yellow and red. This are the water parameters for cultivating Aussie UFO Diaseris:

  • Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.5 MEQ/L
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1350 - 1500
  • Strontium: 10
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.024 - 1.025

Fireball Diaseris Diet & Nutrition

The Fireball Diaseris gets its primary nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within its tissues. However, we still do recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp.

Fragging / Propagating Fireball Diaseris

A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Fireball Diaseris. They should be placed at the middle or bottom portion of the tank.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Fireball Diaseris

Fireball Diaseris requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.

Fireball Diaseris Origin

The Fireball Diaseris can be found in the waters of the Western and Central regions of the Pacific Ocean. In the wild, they can be spefically found in the lower parts of the reef slopes or in flat sandy substrate.

Caution Should be Taken with Fireball Diaseris

You have to take extra caution when handling Fireball Diaseris as their wedges are highly brittle and may easily break off.

How to Acclimate Fireball Diaseris

Fireball Diaseris are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
