I though the one was a scoot, but wasn't sure which one. Thanks

Just a quick follow up. The book says to feed them micro plankton, would that be zooplankton or phytoplankton?

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much on feeding them. But like most LPS, they accept smaller meaty foods (mysis). When I got time, I broadcoast reef roids/reef chili all over the reef. You'll probably be better with this than any type of plankton.

Also, don't know if you know but the pectinia has some mad stingers on it. It opens at night, so just keep some space.

How often do you feed them? Ever day?

Let them acclimate to the tank first. You'll notice feeding response once the lights go out so you can try then. Make sure your filtration can handle the extra feedings. The scoly would enjoy little meaty bits like LRS reef frenzy or reef nutrition roe. For now though, I wouldn't worry about it to much. Let them acclimate.
