The Diablo Diaseris Disc, a rare and captivating LPS coral native to the Indo-Pacific, is highly sought after by serious collectors. Reclassified in 2011 as Cycloseris distorta, this coral is renowned for its vibrant color palette, featuring shades of red, orange, yellow, blue and purple that come alive under proper lighting conditions — actinic, UV, and full-spectrum lighting.

This coral thrives in environments with low to medium, alternating or indirect water flow. It prefers lower light levels, ideally between 75-125 PAR, making it well-suited for placement at the base of your tank. This positioning not only mimics its natural habitat but also allows it to display its best colors in a reef setup.

To ensure optimal health, stability in water parameters is essential. Consistent, stable conditions are critical to this coral's well-being and overall tank balance.

While the Diablo Diaseris is photosynthetic, it thrives with supplemental feedings of Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, zooplankton, phytoplankton, and amino acids. These feedings not only support its growth but also enhance its brilliant colors, helping it flourish in your reef system.

Despite its non-aggressive nature, the Diablo Diaseris will defend itself against neighboring corals that infringe on its space, making it crucial to monitor and maintain the space between this piece and neighboring corals.

Despite extensive propagation efforts, pieces of this size and quality are rarely available due to the coral’s slow regrowth after fragmentation. Owning a Diablo Diaseris Disc is a privilege in which its presence within your reef symbolizes the exclusivity, patience, and dedication needed to care for such a rare and valuable specimen.

Adding a Diablo Diaseris Disc to your collection isn’t just about acquiring another coral—it’s about securing a living masterpiece. Owning a Diablo Diaseris Disc is not only a testament to your collection’s exclusivity but also a symbol of the patience and dedication required to care for such a masterpiece.
