Yes, I've tried this many times but for some reason my images fail to get uploaded. I'll give it another try now:

I have a small 2 head blasto that has been the same 2 heads for 4 years. Can't get it to grow. (Now I did have a long stretch where my tank was not in great condition and GHA surrounded and irritated it I am sure). I am getting things back in order now. Hopefully it will start to grow.

In general do you guys who have them find them to grow on the slower or faster side?

i just bought the same red blasto this past sunday, my first blasto. what can you tell me about their likes or dislikes? thanks

They LOVE to eat!!! I feed mine mysis just about every other day. My red and green blasto polyps started out the size of a penny and are now the size of a dollar coin. They don't like high light and no more then med low flow. Mine are in a 40 breeder lower half of tank under 4 high output t5s. ATI bulbs love them my combo is 3 blue+ and one purple+. Hope this helps.

Rt67ghy those are nice. Looks like you do have the same red as I do. I have had the brown before also. Would love to get my hands on the purple and green ones.

Thanks MantisLKvr.

I found it's best to feed them. For a few weeks I didn't feed mine and noticed loss of some polyps on both corals. Now I feed them every alternate day with shrimp, squid or clam and they love it and this has stopped the regression and the remaining polyps look healthy.
