Blastomussa merletti

Blastomussa merletti is a compact and hardy LPS coral known for its small, round polyps and vibrant coloration. Colonies form tightly clustered heads, each with a fleshy mantle that expands over a branching skeleton. Colors commonly include reds, oranges, greens, and blues, often with contrasting mouths that glow beautifully under reef lighting.

Care in Aquariums:

• Lighting: Low to moderate
• Water Flow: Moderate
• Placement: Lower rockwork or sandbed; allow room for colony growth
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional small meaty foods and fine particulate coral foods
