Official Acanthophyllia, Cynarina, and Indophyllia show off (and appreciation) thread!

[Netfish and Chill]

Here is my Cynarina. Was nothing but skeleton and a little flesh when I got it. Now it's the size of a softball. Forgive the bad lighting, as I was in a rush.

This Cynarina is also the host to 3 sexy shrimp.

How often you guys feed them?
How low of lighting? Do they even tolerate medium par(150-200) ?
Always wanted to try acantho or indo but my sandbed is 150-200

I have seen them do fine in a wide range of different lighting scenarios, though Cynarina will handle higher light and flow far better. I feed mine every other/third night with basic fish pellets, though I want to try the coral-specific stuff and see if t makes a difference.

Do you think if 150 par will work?

Definitely.

 

[Mr. Acantho]

I will post mine next week

I keep mine in low flow at 75 par, and feed a couple of small LPS pellets once a week.

 

[jonray]

I also keep them off the sand. It’s the aquarium poop tray and I don’t trust it. If a precious LPS ever gets any tissue damage I think they are more prone to bacterial infection if kept on the sand.

Wow, I've never seen a yellow one

 

[jonray]

Rarer than hens teeth, with a price to match unfortunately

I have seen a ton of Cynarina over the years but nothing as nice as this, incredible….

No crazy colors but got it for under 100$

I have a bunch and have had them several months. One randomly morph and went “rainbow translucent” and I have no idea why. Par in the spot is roughly 100

This is all the same coral over the course of a few months.

My others…and last pic is a Aussie red scoly. The green donut is a Moseleya
