What type of Blasto is it?

Picked up my latest addition to the 7 gallon Minibow... A Blasto... The frag was mounted on a 1" round piece of LR. I drilled out the rock I was to place it on, and cemented it in place. The LFS didn't tell me too much about it. What do you think, what type is it?

Thanks!
 
mmm, looks like it could be a B. wellsi to me. I could be wrong though. The easiest way to tell is to look at whether or not the skeleton of each polyp has a pipe like composure - if it does, it is B. merletti. However, of the polyps are flush against a rock, and lacking that "pipe" then it is a B. wellsi. I have seem some B. wellsi's are my LFS that look just like the ones in your picture (color wise).
