Blastomussa wellsi is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and fleshy polyps. This premium XXXXL specimen features 18-20 healthy heads, making it a striking centerpiece for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 fluorescents or LED setups providing 50-150 PAR. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate, indirect water movement is best to keep polyps extended without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower rockwork where it can expand fully without shading or aggressive neighbours. Maintain adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging interactions.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Stable water parameters and regular feeding will promote growth and vibrant colours.
Feeding: Supplement with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly to support health.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; ensure sufficient space to avoid conflict with neighbouring corals.
This XXXXL Blastomussa wellsi is a premium addition for UK marine reef hobbyists seeking a large, colourful LPS coral with moderate care requirements.
