Blastomussa wellsi is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its fleshy, colourful polyps and relatively easy care requirements. This premium tank-bred frag features a tiny head, making it an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to add vibrant texture and colour to their reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal for Blastomussa wellsi. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching; LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to ensure the polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to middle sections of the rockwork. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Blastomussa can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience maintaining stable water parameters.
Diet: While Blastomussa wellsi derives much of its nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, it benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals to prevent damage.
Overall, this premium tank-bred Blastomussa wellsi frag is a beautiful and rewarding addition to a well-maintained marine reef aquarium.
