Are blasto's hard to keep? I've been seeing a few nice one's lately so I think I'm going to give them a try. I've read a few threads on RC that said they are hard to keep. If you keep blasto's can you post your experience with them?

This is a very old post, but i’m hoping you could help give me some suggestions/ideas. I bought an aqua rocks frag rock with 10 holes (meant for zoa garden). Anyway, I plan on havink 4 Blasto‘s on 1 side of the rock, is there another coral I could fit in the extra 6 frag slots on the other side of the rock knowing that in about 1 or 2 years they could end up touching the Blasto‘s. Almost like it would be 2 different coral gardens growing together, is this possible with anything compatible with blasto’s? Particularly low light since that’s what my blasto’s love, maybe Ricordeas? I have no experience with micromussa’s as I always hear horror stories they all turn red, but could they be an option?Blastos are super easy to keep. But most people say they have problems. The reason is they have tissue recession. The main cause is to much light. When you recieve you specimen give it the darkest part of the tank with a little visiable light. Then within two weeks slowly move it out to the part of the tank you want it in. They are slower growing than Acan Lords but they are one of my favorite corals along with zoas. You can feed them at night usually one hour after the lights are out, the feeding tentacles come out usually around that time frame when the lights are out. If you need more questions answered let me know.
