What type of flow do you guys have these in? Also what are you feeding them? I picked up a small 5 head frag back in Feb. They were in my 16 and were always out and puffy. Now they are in my 55 and have at least 12 heads now but they are not as puffy as before. Always seemed to be somewhat closed up. They are in the middle of the tank under T5s. Heres some pics to show them

I have very small babies on there but the base never grows.

they don't like a lot of flow. low flow areas would be ideal.

Heres mine, whenever I see more at the LFS I'm going to buy them up.

I have to get better at capturing the full colors, its a nuclear green the pics dont do them justice at all

the intensity is so brilliant, I swapped my old t12 actinics to t5Ho's for supplementing the 250W/14k's

Fantastic blasto's guys, I saw a few in the thread I wish I had haha.

oop's almost forgot the pic

Sorry for the first pic I can't see to get the right angle w/ my camera but it is red with purple center and green mouth.

Green center and stripped green skirt

This one actually I glued a red skirt with blue center and a red skirt with green center.

Wow! I would love to have a blasto island like yours in my new tank! Blastos are definitely my favorite coral! eheheh!

 

[apjohnson]

[pech29]

Yes I do have a frag! Unfortunatly that's all I have is my frag.

Maybe is because the guy who sold it to me had it since May, six months and it is ready to split... lucky me :bounce1:

How fast do Blasto's typically grow? I was trying to decide between getting some Acro's or Blasto's, but with the peaceful nature of Blasto's I think it would be a much better choice. Do these corals have any desease problems or are they pretty hardy?

Thanks for the help,

Robka
