Any good suggestions for keeping Pectinia ? Medium flow, medium light is what i been reading.. The placement is showing just about about anywhere in the tank from low to high and even a little shaded? throwing me off a bit so, i thought it would be a good idea to ask..

Feeding?
 
My pectinia came in damaged. I acclimated it from low blues and low flow at the bottom. Then raised to mid blues low flow mid rock. It healed and thrived. They swell and bloom nicely when I dust with zoo.

Very similar to chalice placement. Keep space between it and other corals, they put out serious sweepers. Acclimate it slowly. Small meaty foods like LRS reef frenzy and small particle foods like reef nutrition oyster feast and roe, reef roids, ect, will all do well for feeding.
 
I’ve got an Space Invader and what I would say a “regular variant” that kind of pink and green color. My Space invader likes bright, indirect light and medium flow, but the regular one likes mostly shade with medium flow...every time I move it to get more light it shrinks up. And yes they do have ridiculous sweepers my Space Invader sweepers can be twice as long as the coral is tall
