Plate corals can add alot to the look of your substrate area, especially the vivid orange ones. They are easy to care for and require very little. As with most corals, maintain a high water quality and occasionally spot feed with some cut meaty foods. Simply place the cut food on or near the plate coral and you will watch it move the piece along its tentacles to its mouth in the center. |

The Orange Short Tentacle Plate Coral (Cycloseris sp.) belongs to the family named Fungiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 6 inches in diameter, the Orange Short Tentacle Plate Coral is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Cycloseris sp. in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include high water quality, a moderate water current, a fluctuating water current, extra substrate area, and a low water current.
