This Pink & Green Blastomussa merletti has Small Heads and glowing neon green centers ringed by deep pink skirts.
As with most L.P.S (Large Polyp Stony) Corals do better in areas of medium/low light combined with low flow. These corals are also able to tolerate higher levels of nitrate and phosphate compared to S.P.S. in some cases L.P.S corals do better in conditions with higher levels of nutrients. Tanks with low nutrients may require dosing of coral foods such as amino acids, rotifers, phyto plankton, and powdered coral foods. L.P.S with their larger mouth is also able to consume small pellets and small pieces of frozen food. Being a stony coral requires adequate levels of calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and trace elements are necessary for proper health. Regular testing and dosing of levels are imperative for long-term success. Ideal Reef Parameters (L.P.S) Specific gravity: 1.023-1.025 Calcium: 400-450 ppm Alkalinity: 8-11 DKHMagnesium: 1200-1400 ppm Nitrate: 1-10 ppm Phosphate: 0.03-0.07 ppm. We have multiple frag sizes.
Pink & Green Blastomussa Merletti
Blastomussa are an interesting stony coral because from afar they resemble mushroom corallimorphs. They are a relatively easy coral to care for with modest requirements for both flow and light. In fact, we have found they tend to do best in low light conditions. They are also easy to feed and later propagate making them a great choice for reef aquarists looking to try some of the more exotic large polyp stony corals.
