be aware that if either one of them bloom up and cover the other coral.....the part which recieve no lights will lead to bleaching....

Prata, Cynarina and blasto all belong to the same family. . they dun sting one another.

However, take note never to put acan next to ur beloved pratas.

"take note never to put acan next to ur beloved pratas"

Errhhh...why?

the acan will sting the pratas with their tentacles.....correct me if im wrong on this...

i have problem with both prata and cynarina

if i put prata and cynarina and higher height, it will close

med and low height also close.

but if i put inside a plastic container, and shift to one side with also less light but at higher height, both prata and cynarina grow bigger.

i still can't figure out what there want.

the container is still inside fish tanks, so i don't think water parameter got problem

is the current high in the mid and high area of your tank?

it might due to the current i guess, they love light but low flow..

maybe lo, i try to find a good place for them to live. but now still stuck at plastic container.

are you able to target feed the prata? as in when there is food will the prata show its tentacles ... hungry prata also won't expand

Hmm if like half of a cynarina was covered by another one, but half of it still receive light, the half that don't receive light will bleach? Or the other half that receive nutrients will be able to supply good source of food for the whole cynarina?

[boxfish]

don't think that will happen unless really "sway" cos coral also practice time sharing

You're right on this. Acans have the ability to sting other corals.

letdoit: I find pratas & cynarinas do better on the sandbed where you give them enough space to expand. I would not suggest placing them at greater heights, nearer to MH lights. If I am not mistaken, they do not like intense lighting.

i think it may be your tank temperature or your water condition...

my prata and cynarina no problem at any place...
