Cynarina lacrymalis "Red Doughnut Coral" - Medium
Known commonly as Doughnut, Knob, Meat or Cat's-eye corals, Cynarina corals are a unique specimen for the aquarium. They are a single polyp coral, with transparent or translucent bubble-like vesicles. The large, toothy skeletal septa can be seen clearly beneath the delicate tissie, and care should be taken when placing the coral to avoid damage to the flesh. The tissue may be entirely clear, allowing the underlying colors next to the skeleton to show through, or in some specimens the tissue is tinted green, red, orange, or patterned.
These corals should be placed low in the aquarium in low water movement and given plenty of room for expansion. These are commonly mislabeled as Scolymia corals, but unlike Scolymia, Cynaria has larger ridges in the skeleton.
