Blastomussa is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral. Blastomussa come in the forms of Merletti and Wellsi. Merletti have smaller polyps (no more than an inch) and typically grow stalks while not encrusting. Wellsi have longer polyps (1 - 5 inches) and will encrust on rocks. Blastomussa are a moderate difficulty coral. But, are good coral even for the beginner that has a stable tank and takes some care with lighting and water flow.
Blastomussa coral need low to moderate light levels in the range of about 75 - 125 par. Like many corals, too much light is not a good thing. Corals need to acclimate if you want to move the light intensity higher. So, start a bit lower and slowly work up until the coral seems happy and is doing well.
Blastomussa are generally peaceful corals but giving them a couple of inches of space is still a good idea.
Blastomussaa get most of their food from their symbiotic relationship with the zooanthellae in their tissue. However, they like to feed from the water column and do better with water including a reasonable amount of food particles.
Water flow should be moderate and indirect for Blastomussa, ideally with an alternating flow pattern, so that they are brought regular food. Too much flow, especially if direct flow, can damage the coral’s tissue and limit its ability to feed.
Water Chemistry: PH 8.0 – 8.4m Nitrates 5 – 10, Phosphates 0.05m – 0.1, Alkalinity 8 - 9 dKh, and Calcium 400 – 450.
