he Aussie Blastomussa Merletti frag is a smaller-polyp variety of the Blastomussa coral, prized for its vivid color patterns and dense polyp structure. Originating from Australia’s pristine reef zones, this coral typically displays deep reds, greens, and purples with glowing centers that really pop under blue lighting.
Unlike its larger cousin Blastomussa wellsi, Merletti forms tighter clusters of smaller polyps, creating a beautiful encrusting colony over time. It’s hardy and adaptable, thriving under low to moderate light and gentle flow. Ideal placement is on the sand bed or lower rockwork, away from aggressive corals. Feed occasionally with fine meaty foods (like Reef Roids or mysis) to encourage faster growth and richer coloration.
