Overview
The Glass Red Shimmer Cynarina is a captivating S/M-sized jewel for any reef tank. With a delicate, almost translucent red body that shimmers like molten glass under lighting, it adds elegance and depth to the sand bed. Subtle metallic undertones give this coral a pearlescent glow, especially under blues, making it a true collectors item for those who appreciate refined colour.

Cynarinas are known for their inflated, cushion-like tissue and gentle presence, making them perfect as standalone showpieces or soft visual transitions in mixed LPS layouts.

Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from regular target feeding. Use small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or reef-specific blends once or twice per week to support healthy tissue mass and vibrant colouration.
