Just picked up a Cynarina coral from Aqua Life Aquarium in Rocklin, California for only $30. I'll post a picture of It later in the thread. This is my first Cynarina coral and I'd love some advice and what recommendations on it's placement. I have it sitting on a PVC pipe on the sand right now and it has inflated a little. Any help would be great thanks!
 
They generally like low-medium light and just enough flow to gently move them about. High flow can damage the fleshy bits. When it comes to light, think about how you might place a candy cane.
They will take mysis and meaty fish foods. Mine has grown quite a bit since I started feeding it. Definitely an underrated coral!

You'll know if he likes his spot because the bubbly outer part of the polyp will bubble up a lot more. He might look almost like a bubble coral when he's healthy. Some species bubble up more than others though.
They're usually pretty hardy. Nice find!
