Wicked Cynarina coral is a fleshy large-polyp stony coral with a solitary LPS growth form. This WYSIWYG Vault piece is a Cynarina coral suited to reef keepers prepared to provide gentle placement and attentive acclimation. Its fleshy structure benefits from a protected position where tissue can remain clear of abrasive surfaces.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Sand bed or protected lower reef area
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start in a gentler area during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching the coral’s tissue response.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting or repeatedly whipping the fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it on the sand bed or in a protected lower reef area. Choose a stable, nonabrasive surface and keep its fleshy tissue away from sharp rock.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and leave room around its tissue.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional appropriately sized meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently and avoid forceful flow while food is being accepted.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe closely during acclimation. Protect the fleshy tissue from abrasion, direct flow, and unstable placement, and adjust its position if it shows signs of irritation from light, flow, or contact.

A protected, stable position supports long-term care of this fleshy LPS coral.
