General info about Aussie UFO 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 For taxonomic purposes, Cycloseris is the new genus that is derived from its old counterpart - Diaseris, which is no longer valid at present times.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 Aussie UFO Diaseris, they are predominatly colored green. 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
Aussie UFO Diaseris Diet & Nutrition
The Aussie UFO 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.
