Cynarina are a type of large polyp stony (LPS) coral that are translucent, often coming in a wide variety of colours from red to green. They are relatively hardy and require only moderate lighting..
Cynarina prefer moderate lighting (50 - 150 par) as that is mimics their natural environment.
Low water movement is recommended, high direct flow will inhibit the coral from opening up fully.
Cynarina derive most of their energy from their zooxanthellae. However they readily accept feeds such as mysis or coral foods, often showing better extension and colouration after being fed.
This is a general guideline, Cynarina are rather sensitive to these parameters, especially to sudden changes or swings. It is ideal to keep all these parameters within range as they will change with time, due to cynarina being an LPS. A good guideline will be to target stable parameters as long as they are within a reasonable range.
