Cynarina corals, also known as "meat corals," are unique, fleshy, and photosynthetic stony corals. They are relatively hardy and adaptable, making them a good choice for both experienced and intermediate reef keepers

  • Lighting: Cynarina corals are photosynthetic and can thrive in moderate lighting (100-150 PAR).
  • They can adapt to various lighting conditions, but excessive lighting can damage them.
  • Lower intensity lighting is generally preferred, especially when starting with a new Cynarina. 
  • Water Flow: Cynarina corals prefer low-to-moderate water flow. 
  • Strong flow can damage their soft tissues, prevent polyps from fully inflating, or even cause them to move around the tank. 
  •  Feeding: Cynarina corals are photosynthetic and can obtain nutrients from sunlight, but they also benefit from supplemental feeding. 
  • They are non-picky eaters and will readily consume meaty foods like mysis, brine shrimp, or small pieces of seafood. 
  • Target feeding, where food is delivered directly to the coral, is recommended, especially when they are young or recovering from injury.
