Blasto?

[bellanavis]

Can someone please tell me alittle more about what a blasto coral is, I have seen some really nice looking ones, and I wanted to know everything about them that I could. I searched on this site, but I did not really find out any info on them. I want to know stuff like how hard they are to keep, how to feed them, what light they need, stuff like that. If anyone knows anything, I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.

There are two species of blastos: B. wellsi and B. merleti.
Wellsi's encrust over the rock while merletis branch. Merleti polyps are about half as big as wells polyps. Lighting would be the same as most other LPS; flow should be low-moderate. They can be fed meaty foods like mysis, krill, etc.
