That is a very nice pectina but you can find one just like it for a lot less money. I have two pectina corals and have had them both for well over a year. They are considered an expert only coral, but recently seem to be more hardy...similar to elegance coral.
My care for them, I have them in relatively medium to medium high flow...and they get a decent amount of light. One is in the center, getting light from both 250 w halides and is about two feet from the surface. The other is basically directly below one of my halides and is about 3 inches higher tab the one in the center. I have noticed that that are one of the first corals to start receding because of low alk. I used to have them on the sand bed, but noticed that anywhere that sand or rocks settled would start to die withing two days. They do recover damages areas relatively fast, but overall growth is extremely slow. I have only seen the polyp's on one of them twice. They poop all the time. Once acclimated to your system they are a place and forget coral, as long as your system is stable and you're maintaining your alk levels properly.

This is the one I was thinking of buying - Rainbow Pectinia - Barrier Reef Aquariums.
