Has anyone ever heard of a Pectinia coral?

[jfingers8]

I seen one at my local fish store and it looks kinda kool. I wanted to get it . I can't find much info about it i only read on one website that it needs medium light and medium flow but it said it ain't a coral for the novice reef keeper. It said it was a difficult coral to keep but didn't say much about it. I would really like to know a little bit about this coral if someone can help me out please.

Looks cool I have seen one at my LFS. Looks hard to tell if its healthy or not. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=489

I have a Pectina in a fairly heavily fed mixed tank under VHO lights. Except for some damage from the sweepers from a neighboring Pavona, it seems to be doing OK.

Ive been ignoring this blue one here for over a year. Picked it up as a $10 frag the size of a childs ear. Kinda looked like one too. Medium flow, medium to low light. Ive never target fed it but I do feed a blender mix to the tank daily. Ive seen it extend sweeper tenticals near three inches.

It has always looked like that. Even when I target fed it daily.
