Aussie Green Cynarina

<p>Of all the species from the Mussidae Family, corals from the Cynarina genus are considered to have the largest single polyp, where they cancbe either free living or attached to a substrate. Their anatomical structure is generally round or oval with fleshy lobes. They are easy to care with since they tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions.</p> <p>For the Aussie Green Cynarina, they are predominatly colored green with blue mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating Aussie Green Cynarina:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 430 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 -10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>74° - 83° F (23° <strong>- </strong>28° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> </ul>

<p>Aussie Green Cynarina can survive without feeding courtesy from the nourishment it recieves from the symbiotic zooxanthellae that is living within them. However, they will not grow in to a bigger colony. With this and for faster growth, you need to feed them with supplemental foods like krill, mysis or brine shrimp. The addition of dissolved organics is also recommended.</p>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Aussie Green Cynarina. They need to be set at the bottom portion of the tank where lighting and flow rate are in moderation.</span></p>

<div class="breeding"> <p>Aussie Green Cynarina<span class="subListHeading1"> requires moderate lighting and moderate water flow. Too much water flow causes the polyps to be retracted and feeding cannot take place.</span></p> </div>

<p>Aussie Green Cynarina can be found in the Indo-west Pacific Ocean. They are now listed as a threatened species under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that their global trading is now monitored.</p>

<p>Aussie Green Cynarina must be set in the tank with enough spacing in relation to other coral species.</p>

<p>Since the Aussie Green Cynarina is a marine species, salinity must be entirely maintained at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity</span>. They should be immediately set to its receiving substrate like rocks and be permanently positioned using gel glue so that the colonization process can commence.</p>
