Blastomussa wellsi is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green coloration and fleshy polyps. This XXXL specimen features 15-17 healthy heads, making it a striking focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid colouration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 are ideal.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure adequate nutrient exchange while avoiding direct strong currents that can damage the polyps.
Placement: Position Blastomussa wellsi on the substrate or lower rockwork to replicate its natural habitat. Ensure sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression, as it can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Moderate care is advised. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote healthy growth.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, Blastomussa wellsi benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may outcompete or harm it.
This XXXL Blastomussa wellsi is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a bold splash of green and texture to their reef display.
