    The Pectinia Spiny Cup Coral is a SPS coral, also referred to as a Lettuce, Hibiscus, Palm, Carnation, or Cabbage Coral. They form cabbage-like colonies with ruffled branches that terminate in very sharp points. The coloration within these corals vary, and typically darken towards the center of the colony. They add a unique form and presence to a reef aquarium.
    Its behavior is peaceful and can be placed in close proximity to other peaceful-natured corals. The Pectinia Lettuce Coral is not a coral for the novice reef keeper as it is moderately difficult to maintain. Its home will require medium lighting combined with a medium water movement. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

    Once again I was wrong wrong wrong:angry:

    Luna was right..cabbage coral along with some other names

    We will see how it goes where it is. Might not like the light so if it starts bleaching I got no other place but the bottom and thats reserved for a nice Scolymia.

    Karma to ya guys!
