The Blastomussa Coral does well in an established reef aquarium being a moderately hardy coral. A low water current combined with a moderate light level will make a wonderful home for this species. It is not aggressive, and does not contain long sweeper tentacles, so it may be placed in close proximity to other peaceful corals or invertebrates. It benefits from the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.
Its body contains the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae from which it receives the majority of its nutritional requirements through photosynthesis. It does not require additional food to maintain its health in the reef aquarium, but it will feed on zooplankton or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.

just so you know, the bubbles are cyano bacteria, mainly just indicitave of a nutrient rich system, meaning they feed their corals alot for growth, or they are lax on maintinence. I have the same bubbles on my stuff and its because I pound the food to my tank. not a big deal at all just a heads up.

I have some just like those for sale. My pics arent as good, but in person there is no denying it. I have four frags from 6 to 13 polyps. cheap shipping. Mine are on the bottom of a 20 inch deep tank with 150 w MH + 2 x 32 w actinic. They hafve grown considerably fast. New polyps every month or two. feel free to pm me. I am selling them to gain the real estate inmy little tank.
