I have this blasto directly under my powerhead which it was puffy for a while. I then saw it this evening to look like this. Is it dying? Anything i can do to save it?
Hey I’m looking to get some more blastos for my collection! I’m really looking for yellow blastos or ones that have yellow in them but I am also open to any other nice blastos you may have if I don’t already have them. Also looking for some green merlettis, please please please show me what you...
Hello I recently got blastomussa from my lfs and was told it was a blastomussa wellsi but it looks more like a blastomussa merletti to me. Can anyone with more experience tell me which one it is?
Also I noticed yesterday that part of the flesh was folded over on one side of the polyp but it...
I would like to know if my blastos are healthy or if they are opening too large. They are opening larger than they ever did at the LFS. Are they just healthy or are they opening due to a lack of nutrients or the like. (Bumble bee snail for size reference)
Hey guys, so a little backstory: I’m a newer reefer but I’ve been a freshwater keeper a few years, and I work at my LFS.
I have a 13.5 gallon fluval evo that’s been setup since mid January this year (so about 3 1/2 months). Rn I do weekly water changes and I don’t have a skimmer or fuge but I...
So I just purchased my very first blasto, I drip acclimated and dipped now he is in the tank, is this picture normal? It looks like he is squeezing stuff out like little greenish yellow things, please tell me this is normal
Hello,
I purchased a Purple Blasto from the LFS which opened after a few days. All was well and good in the universe. Then I decided to target feed the corals Reef Roids one day, and my Fire Shrimp attacked the coral and ripped the food out of his mouth. I thought ok, he’ll heal in a few days...
ok so i’ve been noticing that some of my lps corals have not been opening up fully such as my frogspawn my duncan and then my blastomusa. the only thing it could be is lighting but here’s some pictures of them and some perameters
ph 8.2
dkh 8
nitrate 2
salinity is 1.024
and i dont have test kits...
Hey everyone! So we bought this beautiful blastomussa yesterday & the lady said it was a newer kind of blasto that stays much smaller (im new with corals) & I know it’s not an Acanlord :/
Can you pls help me identify this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Hello reefers. I posted on here a while back asking about LPS ideas for my 32 gallon biocube. I have trumpets and candy canes (I know they’re probably the same thing but they have a slightly different look to each so I call them differently). I was recommended Acan lords and Leptastrea. I’m...
Ok, maybe not 100 babies more like 20.
Story: It starts off with 2 head, then 3. I had it for 6 month or so. One day it starts to bounce on 2 locations. One exploded give me like 10+ heads and the other one still looks like balloon with another 10+ heads.
Is this how blasto grow? I also...
Hi All,
I setup my tank around 6 weeks ago, it's fully cycled and I have a couple of small clowns and firefish with a couple of blue leg hermits.
I've added my first frag yesterday - I was reluctant to add more, first I want to make sure I can keep this guy alive.
Since the tank is a 13.5g...
I'm not sure what's going on with my blasto, one head is shrinking while the other looks happy as can be. I've never had an issue with these guys in my tank, I've found them to be honestly some of the happiest and hardiest corals in my tank.
Any ideas why only one head might be shrinking?

So basically I bought this coral 6 months ago, was under impression I would get a more colorful one, but that’s a long story. Anyways, anyone know the ID on this and approximately what it’s worth with 1 big, 2 medium sized heads?
Snagged this Fifth Element Blastomussa last night on the @WWC live sale. Does anyone know if it is a Merletti or a Wellsi? The only identifying factors I can seem to find are bigger/smaller or branching/encrusting and obviously it's difficult to tell from a frag...
I was spot feeding the reef last night(Reef Roids+New Fauna Marin)...when I noticed this odd, transparent "thing" floating around the surface.
I had also just nearly super glued my fingers together...So I thought, ha! There's my finger print!
Much to my surprise...this thing is not a layer...
As expected the little harmless frag of GSP I purchased a year ago is doing WAY too well and taking over the small rock it was planted on. This is fine by me. BUT happily living on the far side of that rock is a nice 5 headed Blasto. What are everyones thoughts on what will go down when they...
Started a 10g nuvo while going through a nursing program. The purpose of this nano is to have fun and maybe show some progression.
Please don’t respond to this thread.
So far this tanks has been up for almost a month and really not much is going on so weekly pre water change I’m going to post...
