Vibrant Red Glass Cynarina: A Dazzling LPS Coral for Your Reef

Introduce the stunning Red Glass Cynarina into your reef. Known for its brilliant, translucent red polyps, this LPS coral creates a captivating focal point with its unique, inflated appearance.

Overview

The Red Glass Cynarina (*Cynarina lacrymalis*) is a truly captivating LPS coral, famed for its large, solitary, and remarkably fleshy polyp. Its vibrant red coloration, often translucent, allows you to appreciate the intricate skeletal structure beneath. This ‘Doughnut Coral’ inflates considerably, often doubling its base size, and displays a peaceful temperament, adding dynamic beauty to your healthy aquarium.

Care Level

Considered a moderate care level coral, the Red Glass Cynarina thrives with stable water parameters. It is generally peaceful but requires adequate space (at least 10 cm) to fully expand and avoid chemical aggression with other corals, making it a thoughtful addition.

Tank Essentials

A stable marine aquarium of at least 50 litres is recommended for this LPS coral. Maintain a temperature of 24-27°C, pH 8.1-8.4, and salinity 1.023-1.026. Provide low to moderate lighting and gentle, indirect water flow to prevent tissue damage.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the Red Glass Cynarina benefits from supplemental spot feeding. Offer meaty foods like mysis or brine shrimp 1-2 times weekly for robust growth and vibrant coloration.
