They're fairly easy to care for. Blasto's are some of my favorite corals and I have a ton of both Merletti and Wellsi colonies. One of the biggest issues: aiptasia and majano anemones getting in between the stalks. Keep an eye on this if you have any pest anemones present anywhere in your system.
I squirt some fish food towards them about once or twice a week and have this particular variety in moderate flow, moderate lighting in my tank. If acclimated, they can handle a wide variety of lighting and flow. They're fairly hardy and pretty fast growers as well.
They don't have sweeper tentacles either, so you can keep quite a few in close proximity to each other.
