Acanthophyllia Deshayesiana "Meat coral" lesson learned

[victor escobar]

Another important issue for the scolymia-cynarina complex is that certain resins to get rid off the P can damage them specially when you change the media and there is a strong reduction of phospfates

How did the story turn out?

You're welcome. You have a good question. I don't know alot about their reproduction. I would venture to guess that they reproduce by spawning, like sps and (some) other lps. That's the only thing that makes any sense to me, cuz they couldn't bud off like zoas or encrust like acans or favia, nor grow additonal polyps like other stuff. So id' guess spawning. Now you've got me curious.

Here is a video of mine spawning. Only caught it once.

I am also interested in what happened. I also have a cynarina. I have never had to feed it or do anything to it. I have had it for almost a year now

And unfortunately you guys it didn't make it. We had to take it out today ( i didn't want to) because it had declined to the point of starting the decay process.

I read the whole thread and somehow missed that. Sorry to hear it though.

same thing for acans

same thing for acans

i have found that no matter what if it is a acanthrophyllia or an can they need to be fed i feed mine mysis and reef chili every other day and they prosper in my tank.
