Just added this little cutie. I would love to see photos of any Pectinia others may have with a little commentary about placement, lighting, feeding or anything else.

That rainbow is gorgeous. I’m hoping to grow mine to be like that. Do you feed them? And if you do, what?
I can't directly feed any of my corals as my fish would cause problems (7 triggers) and Japanese Dragon Eel so all my corals get whatever they get when I feed the fish.

That's about as long as they get now, and yes they kill, one of my favias got knocked down over it and in the morning when I moved it half the favia was eaten just overnight.

I tanked my little rainbow yesterday and tonight I fed him and saw the sweepers come out. They only came out a couple inches, but I expect they’ll get longer as it gets larger. I put him in a front corner and have about 6 inches between him and my Elegance. I’ll be watching to make sure the Elegance isn’t in any danger. I’m gonna watch him until I can put them both into a larger tank. The Pectinia gets nice and puffy after it eats.
