Blasto Merletti (Blastomussa merletti) is a hardy and compact LPS coral known for its round, button-like polyps and vibrant colors ranging from reds and greens to purples and blues. It forms tight colonies that grow vertically and encrust over rockwork, making it ideal for filling smaller spaces in a reef tank. Blasto Merletti prefers low to moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow, allowing its delicate polyps to expand fully without damage. It is generally peaceful and can be placed near other non-aggressive corals. While it gains most of its nutrition from photosynthesis, it will thrive with occasional target feeding of small meaty foods like mysis, brine, or reef roids. With stable water parameters and proper placement, Blasto Merletti grows steadily and adds vibrant color and texture to both beginner and advanced reef aquariums.
