Cynarina lighting question with pic

Krzydmnd · Oct 8, 2018

Hi all! So I've had this cynarina for about a month and it seems to be doing well. I'm struggling trading this animals, behavior to see which lighting it's happier with... In the Pic below the left side is exposed to direct light, where the right side is under a shadow from a shelf above. Both sides are reacting differently to the light but both seem to look OK. The left side is highly inflated but a but twisted where the right side is thinner but more uniform.

Any suggestions on which is best for this guy?

It looks more normal to me under the un shaded lighting. Remember, they don't like a lot of flow either.
Nice looking coral. :)

This is just my experience with Cynarina. I have a Red one that looks deflated and even tried to spot feed once a week to look puff when I had my led.
I switched to T5 and it is now looking much better. I just broadcast feed and it is on a medium flow.
