Blasto Wellsi coral (Blastomussa wellsi) is a popular large-polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant colors and fleshy, flower-like polyps. Each polyp features a thick, meaty texture and comes in a variety of striking color combinations — commonly reds, greens, purples, and blues with contrasting centers.
It’s a hardy and relatively slow-growing coral that thrives under moderate light and low to moderate flow, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced reefers. Blastos prefer to be placed on the sand bed or lower rockwork, away from aggressive neighbors with long sweeper tentacles. Regular feeding with meaty foods like mysis or coral pellets can promote faster growth and brighter coloration.
