Some basic info found via google:
Hardiness: Blastomussa is fairly hardy when provided with the proper conditions as outlined below.
Lighting: Seems to prefer moderate lighting but will tolerate dim lighting fairly well. These corals should not be exposed to intense lighting. If lighting is too intense, they should be positioned with the polyps facing out rather than up or should be shaded by another coral or rock.
Water Current: Prefer low to moderate water motion.
Temperature: Does well within a range of at least 77º to 84º F
Aggressiveness: Appears to be low.
Feeding: Blastomussa is photosynthetic and does not take any known foods.
Supplements: Maintaining correct calcium and alkalinity levels is undoubtedly important for skeletal development
Tank Positioning: Best positioning is usually at the bottom of the tank, in low water flow and in a moderately lit area of the tank. They may be positioned higher up in the tank in a dimly lit tank or if provided with some shade from intense lighting.
Propagation:: Blastomussa may be propagated by division of the skeleton keeping one or more polyps on the severed piece.
