Pectina considered Fleshy Lps?

[AviR]

Looking into adding angels to my tank, wondering if the space invader pectina is at risk as much as something like scoly and lobos. It’s a lot more noxious and usually noxious corals are more likely left alone. Curious if anyone has experience

It is pretty fleshy. If you've ever had one or seen a healthy one almost their entire body is soft and fleshy. The best bet is to just try it

I've akways considered them fleshy / meaty LPS because they are very fleshy. I don't keep angels so I have no idea if they'll see one as food.

In the wild not really, but in aquaria they do puff up a bit.

Wow that is a totally differently looking coral in the wild. All I've seen are ones in aquarium and when mine deflates I always assumed it's unhappy. Now I'm not so sure.
