Unlike many round or branching LPS corals, Pectinia forms thin plating structures, textured folds, and sharp skeletal ridges that give it a very unique look in a reef aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"581\"\u003eThis Red Eye variety is known for its deep red body colour and contrasting eye-like polyps scattered across the surface. Under reef lighting, the red tones can look rich and intense, making this coral a standout feature for lower-light areas of a mixed reef or LPS-focused aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"807\"\u003ePectinia is best suited to reef keepers who can provide stable conditions, careful placement, and patience. It is generally slow growing, but its unusual structure and bold colour make it a rewarding coral to keep long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"849\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"849\"\u003eWhy Choose a Red Eye Pectinia Coral?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1os36t8\" data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"903\"\u003eUnique plating LPS coral with dramatic structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"cvdage\" data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"949\"\u003eDeep red colouration with eye-like polyps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"tknc9w\" data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"999\"\u003eExcellent feature coral for lower-light areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1p68ed3\" data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003eAdds texture and contrast to reef aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"segejf\" data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1101\"\u003eGreat choice for LPS gardens and mixed reef tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1vueo1p\" data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003eSlow-growing but highly distinctive showpiece coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1180\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1180\"\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003eRed Eye Pectinia prefer low to moderate lighting, with a PAR range of around 75–150 being suitable for most reef aquariums. Avoid placing it directly under intense lighting, especially when newly added, as stronger light can cause stress or tissue recession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"1643\"\u003eWater flow should be low to moderate and indirect. The coral needs enough movement to prevent debris from settling on its textured surface, but not so much that the fleshy tissue is blasted or damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1880\"\u003ePectinia are photosynthetic, but they can benefit from occasional feeding. Offer small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, finely chopped seafood, or suitable LPS coral foods once a week to help support colour, health, and steady growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"1914\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"1914\"\u003eRecommended Water Parameters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2055\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"23l34l\" data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003eCalcium: 400–450 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"e6d0lr\" data-start=\"1941\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003eAlkalinity: 8–9 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"93gjyh\" data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"1993\"\u003eMagnesium: 1300–1400 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1nlgg3d\" data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"2025\"\u003eNitrate: low but detectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nh28h0\" data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2055\"\u003ePhosphate: low but stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2086\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2086\"\u003ePlacement \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2088\" data-end=\"2324\"\u003ePectinia can be highly aggressive at night and may extend powerful sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
