Pectinia coral care

[SkyShark]

What has everyone's experience been like with Pectinia corals? I've been seeing some conflicting information about care requirements. If you have any, are you target feeding it? Basically i'm seeing that they like medium flow and medium light (sounds easy enough to provide), but they are labeled as "difficult" on liveaquaria which has me a little concerned. I don't have any yet, but I have been thinking about acquiring one and want to make sure I can provide for its needs. Thanks!

Hmm... That throws a wrench in my plan if they have long sweepers. Am I talking about two different things? LA calls it a Spiny Cup Pectinia which it lists as peaceful... But this sounds anything but peaceful.
