Also like vendors need to specify more if it's a Blastomussa wellsi or merletti.

Needless to say we were chasing names and compatibility...lol

My Freebie All acans and blastos have been freebies.

love me some blastos

I've also read Blastosmussa merletti, each head has an individual stem. Which seems true for some. But I've read other people's comments about them growing more like an encrusting coral. I have some merletti which definitely have individual heads and stems. Then another one labeled as merletti but grows more like an encrusting/mounding brain coral. You can't really distinguish individual bodies when retracted.

So is this a blasto merletti or was it mislabeled?

Or will we see another classification of the Blastomussa?

that looks like a merletti to me and there is at least one other blasto classification in the hobby, but i forget what they are called. wellsi, merletti, and whatever it is

Vivida.

 

[Joe462]

I have never seen a blasto that didn't have individual heads. the growth varies some like any coral based on conditions. sometimes they are spaced tigher than others.

 

[Joe462]

Vivida.

thats the one i was thinking of

I haven't delved into a lot of the classifications yet, sounds like I need to. Maybe I will bump it and get it to retract, it just doesn't look like other Blastos I have when retracted.
