Blastomussa wellsi (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green colouration and fleshy polyps. This medium-sized frag, cultivated through responsible tank-breeding methods, offers hobbyists a stunning addition to their marine reef aquariums.
Originating from Indo-Pacific reefs, Blastomussa wellsi is relatively hardy and suitable for intermediate aquarists. It thrives under moderate lighting conditions and benefits from gentle to moderate water flow, which helps maintain polyp health without causing tissue damage.
When placing this coral, ensure it has adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Blastomussa wellsi can extend sweeper tentacles. Positioning it on the substrate or lower rockwork is recommended to mimic its natural habitat and optimise growth.
Regular feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can enhance polyp extension and overall vitality, although it can also derive nutrition from photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae.
Tank-bred and carefully grown by DJM, this frag supports sustainable aquarium practices and ensures a healthy specimen for your reef setup.
