Caring for a cynarina

[archangylle]

Hi guys, I was wondering if you guys could share with me your methods for feeding the cynarina. Do you feed them small pieces of prawn like the prata?

hi. care is very similar to the prata. in fact, i think they are similar in terms of care requirements. moderate to good lighting, low to moderate flow. usually on the sand. on the rocks is fine too. yes feed small small pieces of prawn once every week to 2 weeks. dun over feed them.

These are recommendations only. Can still keep with mushies with proper spacing and husbandry.

In the middle of the polyp. Mostly will feed only when lights are out. Once a week or less.

they can stretch and open their mouth to feed on the prawn. careful not to feed too big piece and dun over feed also

if i'm not wrong its behaviour closely resembles a prata however the appearance is diff... but prata seems to be nicer den cynarina leh... just my 2 cents...

Depending on how big your cynarina is you can feed it bigger pieces of shrimp.

Place the shrimp at the centre of the coral.

Put something soft and light on top of the shrimp if it will be blown away by current

Wait for the feeding tentacles to grab the food before removing any objects holding the shrimp.

You will know what you are feeding is too big if the coral spits it out after attempting to swallow it.
