Rainbow Pectinia (🇮🇩)

Pectinia, commonly referred to as spiny cup corals, are a variety of large polyp stony corals from the family Merulinidae. Pectinia have a plate-like shape but then send up spire-like growths from that plate. It is a very interesting growth form that differentiates it aesthetically from other plating LPS.

Speaking of aesthetics, there are relatively few color morphs of Pectinia. Every now and again a new color morph pops up, but typically they are a variant of some basic strains. Here at Tidal Gardens we are constantly on the lookout for new and interesting varieties to add to the coral farm.
