Smile brown cynarina

here's the shot of the cynarina i promised a few weeks ago. at first it was really unhappy but we found it was happier after we moved it onto the sand away from the light & the rest of the corals.

hey veen, thats going to be a great future species. have u tracked the exact species so u have an idea of what colour hightlights it will produce?
if u havn't already u might consider removing those few stones to save irratation! they do pump themselves up in the wild to keep above any rise in substrate, but if u can help them before they need to resort to this the better!
its still only a baby> its still in bubble mode! the raised dogs teeth as still to come, very exciting. im glad the move made it happy! just hope it enjoys that spot long term!
Sprung (one of the few dudes in the hobby i'd like to meet in person for which seems a life time of following his work) has done some great research in this area!


Cynarina lacrymalis, Cynarina (=Acanthophyllia) deshayesiana, and Cynarina (=Indophyllia) macassarensis all have the same requirements with respect to lighting, feeding and water movement. They are among the easiest corals to keep, with the caveat that they don't like very strong water flow, and may bleach when exposed to lighting that is too intense. They should be located so that the polyp is facing upwards. A location on the bottom of the aquarium is therefore ideal. The feeding tentacles extend at night, and they are able to capture small (under 100 micron) to large (2 cm plus) prey. Chopped shrimp are ideal food, as are any sort of pellet food, fish meat, or clam meat. Liquefied food will stimulate polyp expansion during the day, and large food pieces can then be target fed to the coral. Frequent feeding promotes dramatic polyp expansion diameters.

thanks julian, now how about that beer! lol
