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)

They're inflated and super happy. Whatever you're doing, don't stop :)
They’re in a 10 gal quarantine tank I reformed as an LPS holding tank until I move. Coral life LEDs, aqueon HOB filter, no powerhead and I have a few euphyllias in there. Being in the quarantine with the euphyllias got a snowstorm clown who was getting beat up to host a frogspawn and wall hammer so that was cool.

Agree! Look just like the ones I have. Healthy and happy!
I bought these at a local LFS but am having a very hard time finding many others online. Know anywhere online that has a good stock of them?

If they are opening significantly more than at LFS, that means you are doing a really good job!
