When fully inflated, the tissue expands dramatically around its skeleton, giving the coral the oversized, almost translucent appearance that makes Cynarina such distinctive showpiece corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Cynarina is essentially one enormous coral polyp rather than a colony made up of hundreds of individual polyps. The species is sometimes called a Button Coral or Meat Coral, and its ability to inflate its tissue means the living coral can appear considerably larger than the skeleton beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something brilliant about a coral that's basically one enormous polyp. The deep red ruby colour makes this one particularly striking, but it's the way a Cynarina inflates that gives it real presence. Even without being a huge colony, it looks substantial and completely different from almost every other LPS in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCynarina favour gentler flow and moderate to lower lighting. They are photosynthetic but also respond well to occasional feeding with appropriately sized meaty foods such as mysis or finely chopped seafood. Stable reef parameters and a relatively calm position allow the polyp to fully inflate and show its characteristic shape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627175305552,"sku":"THRC-0055","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/ruby-red-cynarina-101","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
