Spiny Cup Pectinia Coral (N-SA)

[Mr Cob]

Coral:
Spiny Cup Pectinia Coral

Description:
This colony came from B&B aquatics. Thank you Christi for placing an ID on it for me! It’s also known as a Lettuce, Carnation or Cabbage coral. Super cool piece. It grows like candy cane coral from the base/skeleton but looks like one big head of lettuce with nice greens, purple and blue hues. Live aquaria classifies it as an SPS but I think it’s an LPS.

Lighting:
-250watt x2 MH 14k x 6hrs/day
-110w x 2 Actinic VHO x 10hrs/day

Location:
-Low-Mid reef and angled to it’s side to prevent debris from landing on it

Flow:
-Moderate to medium
