Cynarina
The Cynarina lacrymalis, often called "Brain Coral" or "Button Coral" in English, is a solitary coral widely appreciated for its colors. This LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral is distinguished by its large, unique polyp that can impressively expand, offering a palette of colors ranging from green, red, pink to blue. Its surface resembles a brain, hence its nickname. The Cynarina lacrymalis is relatively easy to maintain in an aquarium, preferring moderate lighting conditions and a gentle to moderate water flow. It is valued for its ability to adapt to different environments and its spectacular appearance, making it a focal point in any reef aquarium. The Cynarina macassarensis is a fascinating and less common LPS coral compared to its close relative, the Cynarina lacrymalis. This solitary coral is distinguished by its unique and voluminous polyp, which can extend spectacularly, offering an impressive visual display in a reef aquarium. The coloration of the Cynarina macassarensis is particularly remarkable, with hues ranging from deep green to red and purple, often accented by contrasting colors around the mouth and tentacles.
