Blastomussa Coral

What is the Swell Blastomussa Coral?

The Blastomussa coral is a very popular addition to reef aquariums. It is a LPS coral which features an almost flower-like appearance with large polyps. Unlike other LPS corals they do not form typical colonies, instead the corallites divide into individual tubes with each tube being an identical copy of the one next to it and will form a dome shaped cluster in your aquarium. They don't need direct feeding but will still benefit from extra feeding in the aquarium such as Polyp Lab Reef Roids or similar products. The Blasto corals are a peaceful and friendly species of coral but like all corals it is best to space them out to avoid any damage.
