Show me your Cynarina

[AcroNem]

I feel this species (Cynarina lacrymalis) can be very underrated. It's one of my favorites and I want to see the others out there, so here's a showoff thread, whether you have it now or kept it in the past. I'll start

I would swear I had the twin to your bleeding apple....

Recently I saw some for sale. LPS I'm guessing? Easy? We have smaller tanks, but I wouldn't mind trying one.

Technically, yes, they're a large solitary polyp. They can be finicky, don't tolerate shipping very well and bleach easily. But if you feed them well and have a stable system they aren't too bad.

Nice!!

My tank does lps very well and all sps I have tried. Easier sps. I have stock oceanic compact fluorescent oceanic lights. Would these guys be similar to a plate Coral?

Low to moderate light (100-200 par) and lower flow. Fairly easy to care for, they also like to be fed from time to time...

Thanks.

My pleasure!

Mine actually tolerates low light to high light. Where ever I put the coral it's always very happy. Small stingers as well.

With my low end lighting, I assume I could place on rock, not just sandbed.

Can have it pretty much anywhere. I even had it near my sps and it does wonders. But it doesnt like med to high flow.

@AcroNem and @Reeferdood I'm blaming you guys when one follows me home. Your pics are beautiful.

I'm happy to take the fall (; and thank you, I had one that was a darker red -purple but I can't find a pic anywhere. They aren't horribly expensive either.

Honestly that's why I was wondering. We have inexpensive coral. I almost bought it. I was afraid I'd kill him.

Like we said they can be sensitive at first, but are pretty easy to keep happy after that unless you blast it with flow.

So more like an acan than a plate?
