Also known as Button Coral or Cat’s Eye Coral, Cynarina is a solitary coral, meaning each specimen is made up of one large, fleshy polyp rather than a colony of multiple heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"329\" data-end=\"701\"\u003eThis green variety has a striking, translucent appearance that looks fantastic against the sandbed or lower rockwork. When happy, the coral can inflate with water, giving it a soft, bubbled, almost glassy look. This unique shape and texture make it a great choice for reef keepers wanting something a little different from the usual Euphyllia, Lobophyllia, or Acan corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"903\"\u003eGreen Cynarina are best suited to stable, established reef aquariums with gentle flow, lower lighting, and enough space for the coral to expand without rubbing against rockwork or neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"937\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"937\"\u003eWhy Choose a Green Cynarina?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"1258\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1bii83u\" data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"972\"\u003eUnique single-polyp LPS coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nki2l7\" data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003eBeautiful green colour with translucent, fleshy tissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"j7c1t8\" data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1094\"\u003eExcellent feature coral for the sandbed or lower aquascape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"as2qlw\" data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003ePeaceful compared with many other LPS corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"8481o6\" data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003eInflates and changes appearance throughout the day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rg5th8\" data-start=\"1199\" data-end=\"1258\"\u003eGreat option for LPS-focused reef tanks and mixed reefs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1281\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1281\"\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1283\" data-end=\"1534\"\u003eGreen Cynarina prefer low to moderate lighting, with a PAR range of around 50–150 being suitable in most reef aquariums. Avoid placing them under intense lighting too quickly, as strong light can cause the coral to retract, bleach, or become stressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1778\"\u003eWater flow should be gentle and indirect. This coral does not like strong, direct current blasting its tissue. Enough flow to keep the surface clean is ideal, but the polyp should not be constantly pushed around or folded over by the current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"2045\"\u003eCynarina are photosynthetic, but they also benefit from regular feeding. Offer small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, finely chopped seafood, or suitable LPS coral pellets around once a week. Feeding can help support tissue expansion, colour, and long-term health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003eRecommended Water Parameters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2081\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"23l34l\" data-start=\"2081\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003eCalcium: 400–450 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1s82id\" data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2130\"\u003eAlkalinity: 8–12 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"akw8nj\" data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2159\"\u003eMagnesium: 1250–1350 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1nlgg3d\" data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2191\"\u003eNitrate: low but detectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nh28h0\" data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003ePhosphate: low but stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003ePlacement \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2518\"\u003eThe best placement for a Green Cynarina is on the sandbed or on a low, flat rock where its fleshy tissue will not rub against sharp edges. Because the coral can inflate significantly, allow plenty of space around it so it does not touch nearby corals or hardscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2520\" data-end=\"2754\"\u003eCynarina are generally more peaceful than many aggressive LPS corals, but they still need their own room to expand. Avoid placing them too close to corals with long sweeper tentacles, such as Euphyllia, Galaxea, or some Favia species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2756\" data-end=\"2768\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2756\" data-end=\"2768\"\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2770\" data-end=\"2952\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"a330vq\" data-start=\"2770\" data-end=\"2800\"\u003eEstablished reef aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hyw7fg\" data-start=\"2801\" data-end=\"2822\"\u003eLPS coral gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"12o5bk2\" data-start=\"2823\" data-end=\"2843\"\u003eMixed reef tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"18osbcq\" data-start=\"2844\" data-end=\"2865\"\u003eSandbed placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"y24mlj\" data-start=\"2866\" data-end=\"2902\"\u003eLower-flow areas of the aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1m335sn\" data-start=\"2903\" data-end=\"2952\"\u003eReef keepers wanting a unique showpiece coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2954\" data-end=\"3238\"\u003eThe Green Cynarina is a fantastic coral for adding shape, colour, and interest to the lower areas of a reef tank.
