Blastomussa wellsi (Ultra) (2 hds.) (frag)

Blastomussa wellsi (Ultra) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and fleshy polyps. This small frag is tank-bred, ensuring hardiness and acclimatisation to captive reef environments.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 or LED setups providing 50-150 PAR. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to keep polyps gently swaying without causing tissue damage.

Placement: Position on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the rockwork. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to prevent coral warfare.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near fast-growing or aggressive corals.

Regular water parameters should be maintained: stable temperature (24-26°C), salinity (1.023-1.025), calcium (400-450 ppm), alkalinity (8-12 dKH), and magnesium (1250-1350 ppm).

This frag is a fantastic addition to mixed reef tanks, offering both colour and movement while being relatively easy to care for when husbandry guidelines are followed.
