Working on some care for some of the random corals in my nano..
I've got this Blasto Merletti,, and it seems some of the internet info varies..
Some say low light.. Some fast growing..

So I've got my frag up high and it appears to be doing well. I am sure this is probably because my light is junk (HIPARGERO 30w).
But at any rate, I spot feed it Oyster feast & Reef-roids twice a week or a few times in 2 weeks. And the occasional blood worm or mysis. I am starting to see more heads coming up.
Not quite ready to put this on my LR as I have a new tank going up soon. But should I maybe consider something with more area or no?
Online pics show this kind of growing over like zoas would.
So let me know what you think

This is after spot feeding oyster feast.

I have mine in low light and low flow. I think the par its in, is around 65-70
 
Yours looks healthy but would like a little more light. They adapt well to many light conditions but when they stretch like yours, they're asking for more light. Doesn't mean you have to through, they look to be pretty happy.

Hey folks.. So leadfooted, the first pic was during a feed, which is why it was ballooned up. Here is a pic on a normal day around here.. Also to note the coral is on a frag holder. About 6-8" from the light. and low flow as I have the wavemaker positioned away (and it only goes on twice a day for a minute).
Likewise, my zoa's are at about the same level as the frag holder and are doing very well (I think anyways).

Thanks

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
