Pectinia health

[Lokipsl]

I have never kept pectinia before and I would like to know if anyone else has gotten these color striations? This specimen has been in the aquarium for a little over a month and seems to be healthy. Regardless I will be keeping an eye on it

Appears to be a space invader pectina? I hope it doesn't invade the space where those zoa's are at. Mine puts out sweeper tentacles that keep everything around it stung pretty good. I don't know if mine has those striation marks, I've never noticed them if it does.

That happened to my pectinia a little bit when the par was too high. Any idea what par it's at?

these things need really low light and flow, ime

I don't know about that... I feel like they need medium flow and 150 -200 par

I have it in a position where it’s sweepers drift towards the mp10

This is as my first thought, but everything else seems ok… I have no idea what the par is. Xr30 gen5 blue running around 27% peak intensity on a shallow tank. Lord corals close to the pectinia are doing ok

Nice! mine gets a decent amount of flow. It stays pretty puffy

I did have a little bit of an issue with the stability of my dkh that has since been resolved by dosing all for reef
