Cynarina lacrymalis, commonly known as “Doughnut corals,” “Button corals,” or “Cat’s Eye Corals,” are large polyp stony (LPS) corals. A Cynarina coral secretes its own little stony cup base and exists as a single polyp nesting in the corallite cup. This is one of the largest, single-polyp corals out there. A Cynarina can grow up to 6 inches in diameter. These corals are often mistaken for Scolymia. They usually have a single oral opening present in the center. Some species may have more than one. A Button coral can grow up to 6 inches in diameter. Cynarina can be found in a range colors from bright red, pink, green, brown, or gentle pastels. The center can be the same or a contrasting color. Another cool thing about Button corals is their ability to change the surface of their polyps from dull to glossy. |
