The Pectinia Spiny Cup Coral is a SPS coral, also referred to as a Lettuce, Hibiscus, Palm, Carnation, or Cabbage Coral. They form cabbage-like colonies with ruffled branches that terminate in very sharp points. The coloration within these corals vary, and typically darken towards the center of the colony. They add a unique form and presence to a reef aquarium.
Its behavior is peaceful and can be placed in close proximity to other peaceful-natured corals. The Pectinia Lettuce Coral is not a coral for the novice reef keeper as it is moderately difficult to maintain. Its home will require medium lighting combined with a medium water movement. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

Once again I was wrong wrong wrong

Luna was right..cabbage coral along with some other names

We will see how it goes where it is. Might not like the light so if it starts bleaching I got no other place but the bottom and thats reserved for a nice Scolymia.

Karma to ya guys!

I love these books. If I'm not using them to i.d. a coral, I'm flipping through the pages making a "grocery" list

Im thinking that book sure is expensive but then it would sure come in handy and be some good reading and Pics.

Something about spending 1K every semester for kids books in college has me
"Book Broke" if you know what I mean. What a racket that is Ill stop there.

Or you they could have a backyard wedding like I did with under 30 guests. Catering by Famous Dave's BBQ and the whole shebang cost me less than $5,000, dress included
