Pectinia spp. (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its distinctive plate-like growth and vibrant green hues. This extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point in mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without damaging the delicate tissue.
Placement: Place on a stable substrate or rockwork with sufficient space to accommodate its growth. Maintain good spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and tissue damage.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and specific husbandry needs.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overgrow.
Feeding: While Pectinia spp. benefit from photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as plankton or coral-specific feeds can promote growth and vibrancy.
Origin and Size: Origin not provided. This extra large specimen offers an impressive display size but requires a mature aquarium environment.
