I just got my first Cynarina (spelling) and I can't find much information out there on any aggression. Right now it expanded and is slightly touching some zoas. Is that ok?

Doesn't seem like it has sweepers, but it did do the typical feeders at night. Just want to make sure it won't melt the zoas or cause chemical warfare.
 
They like their own space. While not especially aggressive, they may defend their space. A couple of inches of room may be a good idea.

+1 on this.

Cynarinas aren’t aggressive the way Hammers and Elegance corals are, but they still need their own real estate. Best not to have them bumping up against anything else.
 
Thanks! Good to know. It expanded way bigger than I thought it would from the skeleton, about 3.5 times the size of the skeleton. I thought it would be like my indophyllia and maybe 2.5 times the size.
