just picked up this small colony the other day already lost one when it fell over into a richordia over night and the richordia stung it to death :mad: not too happy about that since one polpy cost me $20
anyways i noticed on one of the other 3 that are left that part of its calcium structure is sticking through the flesh
can this repair itself and what can i do to help it out?
any one else have some blastos let me know there care information
thanks
heres the pic

It looks like the flesh is receeding. Idk what you can do for it other then give it an antibacterial bath?? Hopefully it will become more heathly and grow more flesh over the skeleton!! Beautiful by the way murph!!

Doesn't look bad at all. It's not uncommon to see the skeleton sticking throught the flesh after the blasto gets moved around or stressed a lot. Just leave it be and it'll recover.

Wow the blasto looks really nice, I really like the fish too. So colorful. Is that 15,000K lights in your tank or 20,000K? Thanks for the pictures.

im running Phoenix 14K 250 HQI bulbs on PFO pendants and ballasts seems to do good for color and growth...
