All about blastos

[ahiggins]

Hello,
Ive been reading up on blastos, I really like a yellow one that a saw. I think it was a merletti.
Is there any difference for care between the two?
Ive heard the wellsi grows faster...
Also, does anyone know of problems having merletti and acan lords together?

Thanks in advance!

Blastos tend to be a low light species of coral. I've had a colony of red and green (I'll get a picture tomorrow)wellsi that have been growing strong in fairly subdued lighting for quite awhile. I think merletti are faster growing than wellsi but I haven't ever grown any merletti. I wouldn't put them close to Acan Lords although they are both fairly passive I think that the Acans could reach out with feeders but given enough space they should be alright, although Acan's tend to like higher lighting and thus different placement than blastos so them being next to each other shouldn't be an issue.

Unsure on the merletti, but my wellsi likes a lil shade though. I've noticed exponentially more growth with spot feedings as well. (Excuse my cuke for being in the way)
