How is the growth rate on that blasto?

Pretty typical for blasto, I'd say. I haven't quantified it, but my impression is that they grow about the same as any of my others.

jdsabin1, did you get those from atlantis?....They look familiar.

I didn't (although I tried to but was too late). I'd love to see what those look like once the owner gets them and puts them in their tank though.

Nice. Some really nice colors in this whole thread.

 

[mschriskim]

Well, here is few rare morphs that I know

Yellow inside.

Ture Blue (Blue blasto is known to be Babyblue) - Recent dark blue ton actually is purple than blue. Yes, dark purple inside morph is not easy to come by as well.

I think this one is more rare than True Blue
I call it Tuxido Blasto. It is really white Not lime green.

This one is not so great color just bright green but for wellsi it is hard to come by. Not teal or dark green but all neon green.

ok... after seeing all of these sweet blastos I am going to have to buy some.

What is the best place to find sweet blastos like these? I would be interested in only small frags. Blastos are my favorite corals, I have some green merletti right now, but i doubt they are rare.

They do have nice ones, but I think Jeff's, Matt's, and Chris's are among the least common of the uncommon ones. Those kind of pieces usually aren't sitting around in a store somewhere. Killer blastos, you guys!

Ive asked if anyone had these before and never got a response, Ive never seen these before and I look out for blastos all the time

old FTS from a bit farther back

Theyre powdery lavender (not brown) pink centers and green and orange striations throughout.

Theyre by far my favorite blasto

heres a pic w/ flash shows some of the orange

 

[mschriskim]

Thanks Mr. Ugly

DRZL-sauras, yes I have seen few but that's also not common morph.

 

[wentreefgirl]

Wow, absolutely love the purple and pinks.

No Photo Shop taken under 460nm actinic by another fellow reefer not my blastos or pic.

The first two pictures are with a flash and the third was just with aquarium lighting. Enjoy Ben

I don't think these are rare, but I like them.

Here are some merleti.

 

[gflat65]

Yeah, I like the first three alot too, Richard. I feel a shift back to blasto's coming on...

 

[DRZL-sauras]

If youve got a pic Id love to see it,

Accusations hehehe.... no biggie
He said the one that took him the longest to find was a really nice pink wellsii.

Pink wellsii? I've got a mini colony, intense pink with a green mouth slit. I've never seen another (grew it from a half dead two polyp frag that I picked up at Tropical Paradise in San Leandro, CA). Does anyone else have this morph and can post a photo? I'd take a picture if I had a camera...
