Cynarina lacrymalis (Green)

Cynarina (Flat Cup Coral) is a genus of large-polyp stony (LPS) corals known for its translucent, bubble-like polyps. Its fleshy, disc-shaped polyps display vibrant colors—greens, reds, pinks, and oranges—creating a striking focal point in any reef aquarium.

Care in Aquariums:

• Lighting: Low to moderate; avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching
• Flow: Gentle, indirect; strong flow can damage tissue
• Placement: Sandbed or lower rockwork; provide space for full polyp expansion
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional meaty foods such as mysis, brine shrimp, or finely chopped seafood
