Cynarina

The Cynarina — the legendary "Meat Coral" — is a single-polyp marvel whose translucent, balloon-like vesicles inflate to reveal watercolor washes of red, pink, and green. One of the most expressive corals you can own, it swells dramatically by day and unfurls feeder tentacles at night. Care is simple: rest it on the sand bed in low-to-moderate light with gentle flow, and hand-feed meaty morsels once or twice a week to keep it plump and growing. Its soft tissue is delicate, so avoid strong current and abrasive neighbors.
