Blasto Care

Post by enteri_00 »

Hey everyone being that I am new at this. I have a small blasto frag that as of late has been doing really well in the tank. The other day it didn't look so good and parts of the coral itself were in the skeleton...is there a certain place blastos like to be in the tank and is there any other care I need to give to it. I was inspecting it the other day and its got some whiteish looking sponge or somethign like that growing on it. Should I remove that....sorry for the questions any tidbit on blastos would be great thanks.

blasto's are very easy to care for. They prefer not to be under direct intense light, nor do they like high water flow. Other than those two things expect it to flourish.

I have 1 piece that I got from a club member. I put it on the very bottom of the tank where there is moderate flow. It seems to be enjoying there.

I have some red blasto I bought from Andy at the meeting at his house. It is directly under one of the halide lights and seems to be doing fine. Do you think it would do better lower in the tank? I'll try to get a pic.

Later,
