Green Cynarina Button Coral

Description

The Green Cynarina Button Coral, a large polyp stony (LPS) coral, is often called the Cat's Eye, Tooth, Doughnut, Teary Eye, or Meat Coral. Its genus name, Cynarina, originates from the Greek words kinara (artichoke) and ina (similar to), which fittingly describe its artichoke-like appearance. This solitary, round coral is among the largest single-polyped corals in nature and is available in a variety of color forms, ranging from pastel to bright and translucent, to vibrant shades like red, as well as more muted tones. It is sometimes mistaken for its close relative, Scolymia.

Although it is not aggressive, the Cynarina Button Coral should have adequate space from other corals, as it can expand to twice its original size. It is simple to care for in a reef aquarium, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced reef aquarists. It thrives under medium lighting and low water movement. To maintain good health, the water should be supplemented with calcium, strontium, and other essential trace elements.

This coral should be fed meaty foods such as micro-plankton or brine shrimp during the evening.
